Hard Tick (Family Ixodidae) on an Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) host, in Algonquin Provincial Park, July 2017. Most Hard Ticks feed on a different individual during each of their three active life stages (larva, nymph, and adult), moulting inbetween. This movement between hosts give them the possibility that they will transfer a disease organism (such as a virus or bacterium) from one to another. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #algonquinprovincialpark #ticks #tick #hardtick #ixodidae #ticksofinstagram #tickseason #parasiticinfections #parasites #chipmunk #easternchipmunk #tamiasstriatus #arachnidsoftheworld (at Algonquin Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOmrAVJtNu/?igshid=1atbgnpp039g0

...and surely you missed me while I was gone :-) Good morning everyone. Just a quick pic of one of our many Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) friends as a way to let you know I'm back and have my computer problems resolved. In case you were curious, my hard drive was beginning to fail. Fortunately I caught it in time before it crashed. PC Doc says it was good I realized something wasn't quite right and smart to shut the computer down when I did. By doing so it allowed him to make some repairs to the hard drive so as to keep it going long enough so he could clone it to a new one. If it crashed I would have lost everything and would have had to start over from scratch. Including downloading all my photos from Carbonite and IDrive, which would have taken forever over the internet. He also replaced the power supply as a precaution since it was old and didn't feel it had much life left. Bottom line, I'm back in business with minimal disruption other than being without my computer for five days. The good news is I didn't have to deal with recreating everything thankfully. Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great solar eclipse day here in the United States, and a nice week. As for weather conditions here locally...the forecast is iffy so viewing the eclipse may not be as good as we like, if we can view it at all :-( Lacey PS...I'll be trying to play catch-up with everyone over the next few days. But it'll probably take me longer to do so. ISO1600, aperture f/8, exposure .003 seconds (1/320) focal length 378mm https://flic.kr/p/XVMjKH
