Sea Horses?

Ezra and me and the moose. This picture was taken by my lovely mother in the information center at Deep Portage nature reserve in Hackensack, Minnesota. We took a walk along the sensory awareness trail and saw maples turning, lichen on trees the size of dinner plates, and a very attractive man carving a spoon from a piece of wood. What splendor.

Down to business: I need your help!

Remember how I said I am taking an Oceanography class? Well, I have a course project that involves compiling news articles relating to oceans. I would forever be grateful if you would keep an eye out for noteworthy oceanic news and send me a link or even a clipping via snail mail if possible. The instructor specifically noted that he did not want a bunch of internet print outs.

In my other class, Fossil Record, I also have a course project to be working on. In this course I will be researching the origin and evolution of horses. Once again, anything noteworthy you may come across would be greatly appreciated.

Today was such a beautiful day here in Portland, in the 90's! I am so content breathing sunshine. I've got all the windows open and very happy feet. Hope the sun is shining for you : )
