A favorite photo from yesterday's evening walk.

It's night on a cold, wintry day. Several leafless trees mark the boundary between the gravel walking path and the frigid but calm water of Lake Michigan. The streetlamp cast the trees' shadows onto the snow dusted gravel path. The Chicago skyscrapers peak behind the distant treelike.

I got to go in 2021. I met other amazing educators, got to work on the Flyby Trike site, found tons of fossils like gar scales, teeth, and jawbones. And the cherry on top: you get the opportunity to bring the experience to your students with fossil kits.

A photo of me pointing to the layer that marks the end of the age of dinosaurs. It is known at the KT boundary or the KPg boundary. The layer is exposed after a paleontologist removed overlaying rock. This photo was taken near Jordan, Montana.

This photo is showing a jawbone fossil discovered at a dig site in the Hell Creek formation near Jordan, Montana.

This photo shows two teachers removing and examining surrounding rock from a dig site in the Hell Creek formation near Jordan, Montana. At the base of the photo is a white plaster which is covering the fossil of a triceratops. The two teachers sit above the plaster. They ar using tools, such as a shovel and a paintbrush, to carefully remove the surrounding rock layer and examine it for additional fossils.

Here's a picture of our snowy courtyard. It was from the first snowfall in Chicago a few days ago. It's so calming to watch and enjoy.

A picture of a U-shaped apartment building courtyard. Snow is falling and landing on the trees than make an awning over the walkway. Red berries are seen on the leafless tress. Large snowflakes fall and dot the image.

Fall break has begun and my dog has the right mood for it.

A brindle and white dog sleeping on a pillow. His tongue is sticking out. His back legs and tail are tucked under his front legs.

Here’s a rotifer.

Field of view of a microscope slide taken at 40x. Amongst the debris of rock sediments is a small rotifer. It is located just above the pointer.

Making my own moss safari as inspired by @mosssafari.bsky.social! Collected some moss from around my school and letting it sit overnight. Had an initial look to see what was already there.

From May 2024 in Chicago. Absolutely stunning to see the northern lights on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Love the little creatures we find on our evening walks.
