Yes, it has been a while since I put up anything here, so I'm going to reward the loyal hangers-on who check this blog occassionally still with some pretty pictures. Bandwidth limits here in Churchill are pretty tight, so these are rather poor representations of the high-resolution (and large file-size) pictures I took with my Nikon 5200.

The boreal forest nearby, which is full of hungry biting flies (Simuliidae and Culicidae, primarily, with a good number of Tabanidae thrown in for fun).

A nearby tundra pond viewed at night, near where the first picture was taken. The trees in the background are all less than 4 meters tall, to provide some sense of scale. Most trees around here are not as tall as I am or only slightly taller.

Very nice shots, and good to see you're still blogging away.
Thanks, Laelaps. I've got about 1000 more pictures (literally), many of which are through-microscope pictures I'm using to keep track of my specimens. Perhaps 350 pictures are not work-related... belugas, polar bears, arctic foxen, various arctic birds, landscapes, local architecture, et cetera... that I'll post a sample of when I'm back in Guelph and have access to a much broader upload bandwidth.
And now back to sorting through pond slime. yay!
Well, it sounds pretty fun... at least you're not sitting in front of a computer like me stressing about whether you estimated the alpha parameter on your gamma distributions correctly... I've done so much line-drawing today that my wrist is actually in pain!
Well, it'll all be worth it if I get to go to Barcelona next year (SMBE)! But things are already looking up on that front.
Good luck with the field-work and let me know when you're back, my geekin' out meter is falling dangerously low...
Polar bears? I hope you don't look particularly tasty.
Nice pics so far.
