Here’s to the nicer days at the beach. If anyone was at a Chicagoland beach this past week it was a disaster of flies. I cannot even start to explain the plague of flies that met my session on Wednesday. Luckily it was a senior boy and he rolled it off his back and we shot through it all. But man even when I ran into the water they followed me. It was an experience I never want upon anyone. By my Friday session they had chilled out. There were still some stragglers biting me but mostly stayed away from my family thankfully. Hoping by tomorrow’s session and the cooler weather they are all done with this nonsense.
