Random Stuff

So here are a couple of pics I've been meaning to get up: Luna and I canoeing and a picture of a Lund (boat). We have several Lunds in camp and it is the main boat we use to go "out in the field" to the different sites. I'm learning to drive it. *evil grin* You may notice this particular lund does not have a motor on it yet and is backward in the water. I took a picture of it my first day in Alaska. Camp wasn't quite running yet and they were still getting motors on boats after having them stored in the shed all winter. Details. You asked about the boats we use - there you go.

The last couple of days have been blessedly warm and sunny! We swapped out a few people with Aleknagik a couple of days ago: lost Juliette and Gordon but gained back Pete and his friend, Andrew, and also the camp cook, Marlene, who is here for a few days of vacation. We had a nice 4th of July - grilled Salmon on the beach and got rained on a bit, but is was pleasant. Today I had the pleasure of trying a kayak for the first time. I still think I prefer a canoe, but it was fun. Pete and Andrew are watching a mama moose and her two babies graze across the bay right now. Amazing wildlife here. I've been collecting porcupine quills to bring back with me and am hoping to get a good picture of a porcupine. I also have some excellent moose fur, salmon jaws, and a wide assortment of flowers, plants and eagle feathers. I mean seagull feathers! And excellent rocks! Oh the rocks! Science teachers - put your orders in now! I have to say - there is a severe lack of bugs, though. At least the neat kind. There are PLENTY of the biting kind. No reptiles either. Sad. Only one species of frog. (And I found one!) Today Luna and I made fairy bracelets (backwards packing tape with flowers on it - very beautiful!) and I think I like them better than the flower press. The colors are nice and you can see both sides of the leaves and flowers. Hmmmm. . . . I'm just babbling now. I'll post the pics and go to bed. I hope you're all doing well! Luvs yas!
