Writing Buddies

This picture is from the reflective writing lab on the banks of the Raquette River. As I was sitting under the fir tree, I was being overrun by these bugs. I'd never seen so many of them before and they seemed to love to crawl on my jacket. As I was writing in my notebook I had at least 8 or 9 on me consistently. The picture is a little blurry because I could not get a good shot. They moved too fast! I like this picture because I will always think of them when I see this picture.
