It has been a while, my patient faithful, since I wrote. While I could cite the winds of change, a busy summer in Seward, or lots of visitors as potential catalysts for my litery absence, I'll digress and shamefully admit I should have stayed more up to date. I half excitedly and half regrettably report that I'll not be reporting from the far north much longer. I have fallen in love with Seward, Alaska and my job at the SeaLife Center and I'm not eager to leave, but Miami University, who has offered me a golden opportunity to get a masters degree in Environmental Science, is unfortunately located in Ohio...a most unexicting state compared to where I am now...and compared to all other states in the union. The silver linings are that MU has the number 4 ranked ice hockey team in the nation and the road trip from here will be great. Not to mention I'm really excited to get my long-awaited science degree. I'll be loading my truck on August 4th and heading southeast but perhaps providence will bring me back here after I'm done. One can only hope. In the meantime, I'll keep on filling my blogs with Alaskan, not Ohian, pictures. One thing is for sure...seeing as how I haven't felt air any warmer than 65 degrees since leaving Tennessee, I'm going to be cranky when I step into the sticky Ohio heat. Cest la vie. Also, if you didn't notice, there are sea lions on the rookery in the picture on the bottom. Cute little guys, eh?

Alaska is too cold.
As Lindsay and I were discussing last night, we still don't think that Alaska ACUTALLY has Brown Bears there... we've seen no proof of it.
ps. critique on the landscape. give it some more room on the edges. My eye keeps going to the trees instead of the sky which I think is what you're trying to capture.
coming back to the continental 48, eh? i actually meant to call you the other day. maybe i'll be a real friend in the near future and actually pick up the phone.
Yep, I'll be a lower 48er again. Thanks for the photo critique, I think you're right. Although I think the main thing I wanted to capture was the silhouettes. As for the brown bear, I didn't have my camera that day but my mom got some pictures. If she ever sends them, I'll post it.
