Weekend Photos

I gave my new lens a workout over the weekend and thought I'd share the highlights.

Everything is going well here and the weather has been fantastic. The only news to speak of is that I got an invite to go down to Grand Canyon in August (the heat will probably kill me) to help out with a 2 week aircraft sound modelling project. All this is unconfirmed at the moment but it looks like there is a good chance it will happen.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Happy Mothers Day Post

It's been a while since I've updated, sorry about that.

Nothing too big has been happening lately. Just getting to know all the new seasonal employees and starting all of this years fieldwork stuff.

Last week I got to help out with an aerial snow survey, which was fun. This involved loading up in a really small airplane and flying over a series of snow depth markers. These are just poles stuck in the ground with colored slats on them at 1 foot increments. You count how many slats aren't buried in the snow and subtract that from how many slats are on the pole and you know how many feet deep the snow is. Rocket science...

I got a new telephoto lens for my camera, so expect some good wildlife shots this season...

It's snowing here. Nothing like those May flurries. I bet all the girls are out working on their tans in Athens right now.

Not a sled dog!

So HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the moms tomorrow, especially mine!
