beautiful photo :) I'm really happy watching yours photos, some things I didn't even know existed in Europe ;)

Oh yes, I hate them. But they seem to prefer my partner, sometimes his trousers are covered with ticks while I have not one although I walked the same paths. I have much more problems with horse-flies - they love me and leave him alone. There are some really annoying pests out there, oh yeah ;)

Cool Ixodes! Ticks give me the chills, they are such horrible vectors and pests.
