While working on a research vessel in the Atlantic Ocean, we pulled a buoy on deck with a plethora of life attached to the rope. These clusters of flying fish eggs were fascinating to observe and illustrate.

A couple years ago spent time sailing around the Dry Tortugas,

Wolves have been successful reintroduced in Idaho, branching out to areas very close to where we live. Recently there was a lone wolf way up on the ridge behind our house, lounging on the wind packed snowline.
