For the last several months, I've been tackling the job of sorting, culling and scanning my collection of slides taken over the last 40 or so years. While it's been hard work, this process turned out to be more fun than I expected. I especially enjoyed reliving my days as an "itinerant biologist" when my project work with the WA Game Department was interspersed with time spent conducting marine mammal research at sea.  My favorite cruises were those that took me to high-latitude seas, both north and south: nearly 18 months in the Antarctic, Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and the Barents Sea north of Norway. I love the quality of the light and the abundance of life in these cold, remote regions. On my new photo pages entitled "Polar Memories," I've tried to capture some of the special beauty and interest of these areas. I'll be adding more photos to this series, as well as some blog entries to share my stories of these cruises.
