Hi Followers!
Today I’m leaving sunny(!) Seattle to spend 3 months at Friday Harbor Marine Labs on San Juan Island, where I’ll be studying marine invertebrates, algae, and doing some nearshore ecology research. I’m not exactly sure how much free time I’ll have for tumbling, but I’ll try to take lots of pictures of pretty sea-things for y’all.
