The Dietrich River winding through the Alaskan Arctic marks one side of the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. It’s a really pretty place. It is wild and remote.

We were listening to an ecology audiobook recently that was talking about the “S-Curve” of biological population growth. It reminded me of a few years ago when many of the tide pools along the California coast were filled with purple sea urchins. It’s interesting how animal populations can get out of balance (sadly, often from human influence), overpopulate, and then sometimes rebalance. I wonder what the population of purple sea urchins is like in this same spot now.

We came across this cheetah on a morning drive on the west side of the Serengeti. It was neat to see how super fit and healthy she was. Such a beautiful animal.

This little porcupine came to visit us in our camp spot in the middle of nowhere Alaska. As the sun went down, this little guy came lumbering out of the blueberry bushes.

British Columbia has a lot more climate diversity than I once thought. The lush coast and epic mountains are beautiful, but the drier inland valleys are also quite pretty.

It’s always special to see the desert in bloom. It’s neat how the desert can be dormant for years and then explode into flowers when the conditions are right.
