Nefarious Creatures

Things quiet down pretty fast at day's end in Algonquin Park. The stillness is wonderful with only a few bird calls to break the silence. The blackflies, however, are another story. They are nefarious and persistent little devils - flying up your nose, into your ears, and crawling under your clothing - all to slice into your skin, using their saliva to make it bleed nicely, and gorging themselves full at your expense. Small wonder it's so quiet in the evening. It's best to take someone along that's willing to act as bait while you get your shot. ;)
