ANOTHER NEW BLOG

I have to keep a weekly journal for my internship and heard in passing that a blog was acceptable.

So.... http://youngerlagooninternship.blogspot.com/

Campus

Took a stroll through the forest going across campus.

 

Life Update Photo Dump

Wow. It's been quite awhile since I've entered into the realm of blogging. I had my first day as an intern working for the UCSC Younger Lagoon Reserve off campus about 2 miles up the coast. It was awesome. I'll be working there once a week for 7 hours learning about California native and invasive species, helping with established research projects, and various other tasks as well as help plan new projects. The reserve is 72 acres, formerly a brussel sprouts farm now turned UCSC owned restoration land for research and development. I LOVED it there today.

 First photos are from the internship/second from the last month.

Hope your ready for a copious amount of photos....

 This super bad-ass hawk flew in front of me when I had my phone out taking pictures.

I got to walk all around the property taking various well measurments.

A couple of us planted this whole area with native grasses.

Just a great beach day in SC.

Hemlock Mountain

On a whim today, I went snowboarding on Hemlock Mountain with some visiting Whistler friends. It was a really small hill about two hours away, but it turned out to be an awesome day! Such a good turn of events 4 days after surgery. Boom. The car didn't make it all the way up to the resort so we had to hitch...adventure.
