Just Some Thoughts

 

It's already the second of March. I missed an entire month without an update. Whoops. 

But to be honest, not much has changed. I'm nearing halfway through the semester and just finished my last midterm. Things have been fluttering through my mind: 1a. I'd like to start a Kickstarter to document the health of the Coral Triangle and the people that depend on it 1b. An alternative Kickstarter would be to purchase an underwater housing for my Nikon D7100 so that I can photograph freshwater streams throughout the Pacific Northwest during salmon runs and 2. Thinking about graduate schools and which programs to apply to. I have to start focusing on graduate school—researching schools, getting in contact with different labs, applying for grants, and getting summer research done to put on my resume—but at the same time, if my Coral Triangle Kickstarter gets funded I may have to postpone parts of the graduate school process (but a Kickstarter like that will likely not get funded so I probably won't have to worry about that).

Anyway, here are some pictures that I took recently. Hope you like them!

I also made a 2 hour and 15 minute timelapse (30 second video) of the clouds undulating over Briones Regional Park. It had some shaking from the wind blowing on the tripod really hard (I forgot to anchor the tripod down) and I opted YouTube to attempt to stabilize it and it gave me this strange wavy effect near the end of the video. Here's the video:
