Hiatus Over

The hiatus is over. I put it off as long as I could, but it's the last day in August, and I'm back! It was good while it lasted, but it's time once again to pick up the camera and document life as I know it.

Let's see, what have we missed? Well, I was hardly home this summer, which is why I took a break from the blog in the first place. It was a time full of field work, deadlines, and somewhere in there I managed to pack up all of my belonging and move into a new place. When I did manage to keep my butt in Fairbanks, it was so smoky from nearby forest fires that I wished that I was still out of town. However, the summer wasn't all work and misery…I did become a Godmother to my new nephew Parker Thomas! What a cute little sweetie he is. Not that I'm biased or anything.


Now I fear it is already autumn here in Fairbanks. There are some yellow leaves on the trees and a crisp feeling in the air. It's time to put away the old flip-flops and stuff my toes into socks and shoes. Sigh.

I already have two trips lined up in the next week or two, so stay tuned for new pictures!

In the meantime, here's a short, gappy pictorial view of my summer:
