I'm back in Durham (and badly sunburned) after an enjoyable day-and-a-half on North Carolina's Topsail Island. Stephanie and I are trying to pack in as much as we can before our respective orientations begin next week- hence, the delay on a new shot from our recent vacation in the Canadian Rockies.
I took this picture on our last full day in Banff National Park. That day, Stephanie and I took our longest hike of the trip- a 10-mile roundtrip trek up a considerable climb to Borgeau Lake. It was a beautifully scenic hike, but unlike other regions of the parks we visited, this particular trail was infested with bugs. In fact, we had to reapply insect repellant twice on the hike. While those bugs certainly present a nuisance for human traffic, I suspect that the many song birds on the trail welcome their presence. As you can see, this particular bird was in the middle of lunch when I snapped this shot.
