so, the truth of the matter is I had misplaced my camera since my last picture post. since I managed to lose my phone at the same time (give or take a day) I had feared the worst-- that they were both long gone, snatched up by some exceptionally lucky person. Out of desperation I decided to tear apart my room and there it was-- in all it's shiny glory under a pile of dirty clothes and strewn books. My treasure couldn't have been found at a more perfect time because I was lucky enough to score a place on an
Alaskan Brewing Company VIP tour today. My friend, Abby won the trip for her and 7 others, and the following are the remnants of one fantastic journey.

And that wasn't the end of post worthy picture taking!! On my way home I had to stop by the store to pick up some groceries and in the parking lot I stumbled across a birder's dream:
I think that they had found a frozen fish-- the coolest part of the whole thing was that they allowed each other to take turns chipping away at it. No fighting or eagle screeching or extreme impatience. It was obvious, however, that none of them were leaving without getting a turn.
I spent almost 5 straight hours on my parents' riding lawn mower this last Saturday at their new house. I was restless all that night at woke up at 4 the next morning-- once I had made a big pot of coffee and found a pair of my dad's extra large rubber boots to romp around and adventure in, I went outside, only to discover the 3 acres I had mowed filled with fresh mole holes! Either there are a billion of them living right there or they work faster than I could have ever imagined.
