Sorry for the weird sidebar. This site isn't made for mobile. This is the Slocum glider fighting the current to try to get to it's waypoint in this Nor'easter. They are buoyancy driven so not going very fast.

If you have to catch up on academic readings for your thesis why not do it in the hammock?

I knit this sweater when my best girl Angel was getting older and couldn't stay as warm. 12 years later as it gets cooler our new dog Willow tries it on for size. #handknit #dogsofbluesky

Been stuck on the couch after my surgery and made this guy. We saw a bunch in Costa Rica which isn't normally in their range but between the El niño and climate change have made it there along with an inca tern. #knitting #birds #sciart

I think someone said the #BirdOfTheDay was a #RainyDayBird. I have one! This was a downy woodpecker who was trying to dry off.

Took an evening walk with my fancy camera and took this shot and got a chance to practice some raw image editing. These two northern flickers were also enjoying the beautiful evening. #birds #photography

I was just out walking the dog down the street when I looked up to see this beauty. Pileated woodpecker, the largest woodpecker species in my area.

Participated in my first glider deployment at Rutgers and couldn't have had a more perfect day. The whales and dolphins agreed because they were everywhere!

Just morning snuggles before class

This is what a baby sea lion looks like, very very different. Seals have to pull themselves out of the water two and all the time are vertical in the water column. How do you think they get on ice sheets?

Saw this little baby yellow ray off the dock of the marina. Talked to some of the elasmobranch scientist on the dock and they hadn't ever seen a baby! Cool find!

Sadie and Willow had their first trial dog walk to prepare for me going back to school during the day. She seemed really nice and I'm sure Sadie will get used to it. Today she was confused why I wasn't leaving the house but she was. #dogsofbluesky

New pupper needing some help regulating her activity levels. Woke up on a tear and now back to snoozing. Might be a long day of crate if she can't manage to settle. #dogsofblueskh
