The experience of watching the sunset was quite dramatic, although not quite as much as this HDR version of the original.
For her senior thesis, Margaret Pickoff '13 (shown here with geology major David Harning '13 at salt marsh at Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area) is studying carbon storage in Maine salt marshes. Salt marshes are one of the most abused ecosystems on the planet; they have been and continue to be drained and converted into agricultural land, fish ponds, and coastal housing developments despite their ecological importance. My research is part of a greater project that is attempting to quantify the amount of "blue carbon", or carbon stored in marine vegetation, in salt marshes, which recent literature suggests is quite substantial. I'm hoping that my research will help to emphasize this critical function of marsh ecosystems, as global climate change and sea level rise continue to threaten the health of the planet.
A major part of my field work is taking cores of marsh peat from the Sprague River Marsh at BMMCA, as well as several other Maine salt marshes. I take samples from many of the cores to be analyzed in the Environmental Geochemistry Lab at Bates. A variety of tests are run on the peat samples to determine what percentage of organic carbon is contained in the peat, and this value can be extrapolated upon to determine how much carbon the entire marsh is storing.
It's hard to write briefly about my thesis project (I think that's a good sign..). Thanks again for coming out to take photos, and I apologize for not getting this to you sooner!

Construction progress continues on the new Animal Services Center for the County of Santa Clara.
---
The County of Santa Clara Animal Care and Control Department needed to replace their makeshift former residence with several additions and portables into an adequate home for the area’s needy animals.
Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture — working with animal care designer, The Bacon Group — created the County’s new Animal Services Center campus with state-of-the-art animal care functions in a park-like setting, providing innovative and sustainable building systems and amenities in the 24/7 facility.
The new Animal Services Center has capacity for 54 dogs and 90 cats, with spaces for other types of animals including rabbits, horses, and goats. To house and showcase larger animals, a barn is sited along the main building frontage, increasing visibility.
Taking a distinct departure from traditional shelter design, dog kennels are organized around an outdoor landscaped courtyard named “The Park”. Together with surrounding “Get Acquainted” pods, the experience offers a bright and open area to meet and greet potential pets in a natural park-like environment.
In addition to animal adoption, a primary objective of the Animal Services Center is to educate the public about the benefits of spaying and neutering. The County is taking a proactive approach to overpopulation by educating the public on reducing the number of animals ending up at the Animal Services Center through the use of the public surgery suite, located inside the facility’s clinic.
Another key solution the Animal Services Center provides is its large Educational Meeting facility. Not only will animal-specific community events be held there, but other County agencies will also be able to utilize the assembly space for conferences and gatherings up to 150 occupants—a resource they previously lacked.
The County of Santa Clara Animal Services Center is designed to achieve LEED Silver certification.

The boys continue practicing, in hopes that Bitey-Face will soon become an Olympic Event.
Hey, it could happen! If live Pigeon Shooting (1900), Long Jump for Horses (1900), and Art (1912-1948) can make, who knows?
Sneak attack by Henry. That will get him some major points.

Daily Dog Challenge 1745. "Hobby or Interest"
Apparently, my job is to be Referee.
Not that I mind.
There are certainly a lot worse ways to pass the time than watching the Golden Boys play.

Stephen Kissinger continues to advance Paul House's cause. Over 22 years on death row for a crime he didn't commit.
Continuing the theme of re-use of buildings, these Victorian house had become a warehouse for used car parts when I first become acquainted with them. Now, despite the blight that persists further along the strip, they have come back into use as a medical centre and specialist sickle cell anaemia and thalassemia clinic.
Continuing our journey on the bus. It’s May but along the way, I still noticed some patches of snow.

Chartwells and District 99 mobilized on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 to deliver meals to those in need. We will continue to do so through April.
Looking seaward under Teignmouth pier. When we were kids we used to search under here for coins dropped through the floorboards by the slot machine players.
Got the last two Orla Kiely chair cushions, much the envy of those behind me in the checkout lane. And those napkins, well in my excitement, I failed to notice that one of the set of four was missing, so I called the store, and they located it. Hooray! Good thing I took this picture, as I might not have immediately realized.
This is the last year I'll be at the CNE for a while - I'll be out of the country for next year's and things after that are still undecided. I've been taking a photo of the city from the CNE ferris wheel for a number of years. I can't find all of the photos anymore (I'm certain I have more) but I'll add a comment below with a few of them. They moved the ferris wheel this year so the angles aren't all the same, and all the images below from before 2007 where scanned from prints so the quality varies!
