I'm back!

[justinl]

just got back from a semester of field school on the Vancouver Island at the Bamfield marine station. frigging amazing, but text is boring. picture time!

For a 3.5 months, this was my playground


some doodle in class. we carve bullkelp heads


hydroids are a lot cooler than most people give them credit for


anemones kick A$$ around here


fish up the hoohaw


my dive buddy patrick


we care about animals round here. we revived this humboldt squid that washed ashore.


field trips have their own inherent hazards


grunt sculpin hiding in a moonsnail shell. how cute is this?!


the eye of a giant pacific octopus.


my study animal Oregonia gracilis. he's decorated himself with bits of flagging tape.


a sunset boat ride is a sweet way to end a day.
