I drove to Anchorage a couple weeks ago to depart for Portland, OR. I was attending a conference for aquatic sciences, which turned out to be a truly awesome experience - tons of science, tons of novelties in the city, and tons of blooming azaleas! Unfortunately, the only photo I took was from the highway as I was driving to Anchorage. The morning of my flight I accidentally left my camera in my car. Which is probably just as well since it may be rude to take pictures of people just because their hair is pink or they have tattoos on every available square inch of skin (and you see most of it). I also forgot my dress shoes in the car, which was very unfortunate because the only clothes I brought were fancy dresses!
Comics were usually drawn during the morning coffee break at the conference.

I went on an adventure in a large, beautiful city park and ended up getting very lost - and darkness was arriving fast! I managed to eventually find an exit (though I had to descend a steep highway embankment that was not intended to be climbed on!) and reach the train line I needed just as it began to get really dark. When I returned to my hotel room, my roommate pointed out that my hair was full of holly leaves.
Back in Fairbanks I have been busy working at the watershed and busy working in my garden. I have finally planted all the available space and I even built an addition to the front of my garden!
We saw only their bones
Poking through the emaciated snow
Brittle like old skin and sagging.
The glue that once articulated them
Subliming through sunlight into thin air.
We saw only their bones
Castner Glacier, watercolor and ink
Even mundane chores can lead to surprising interactions.
