This LEGO statue makes me feel like I'm in an old video game. It fits with the whole retro vibe of being at the AZ Mills mall I guess.

My cat-cus tattoo to commemorate my old boy kitty Spirit (RIP), a successful defense, and the whole family together in Arizona.

Two weeks ago I lost my special little buddy. I miss him dearly but he's at peace now 🌈 ❤️

I will not underestimate the comforting potential of two chonky cats and some leftover birthday cake.

Need Earth Sci photos? Just uploaded 30+ aerial images to geologypics.com, all for free download. I shot them in 2023--mostly on flight from Munich to SFO to Eugene so they're wide-ranging. Please share to other instructors (or anyone for that matter)! #geology #EarthScience #photos

I led every route for the group this weekend out in Red Rock Canyon, except for this one. Exhausted and overexposed, I gave up and handed it over to my brother who bagged his first lead ever 🥹

The sun fell behind a distant range as I made it to the top of the last climb of the day 🌄

Some of the fabulous colours, textures and patterns I came across at Harcourt Arboretum when I visited there a couple of weeks ago, including tree bark, bracken ferns, leaves, fungi, and peacock plumage. #nature #photography #art

When you wake up and your models set to run overnight all fail because the supercomputer goes offline, it's like losing your wallet (a recoverable inconvenience). If those same models all finish overnight, it's like winning the lottery (more data than manageable at once). What a roller coaster 😬

I need help building up this earth and space science playlist! What are your favorite geology-inspired (loosely defined) songs?
