I won't re-post my faves this week because they echo Pippen's. Another very cool selection of photos.

I used to see them doing things like this in Alaska when I visited my daughter there. Never managed any pix of them, though. I was too busy trying to get video of bears stalking salmon.

Alaska, whoa. Did your daughter love it? When I was in my 20s in the aughts a good friend of mine did the salmon boat thing to work nonstop and squirrel away the money, then he came back to Manhattan with a nice little renewed nest egg. Did you get the bear video? I love bears. I never realized gulls' feet are fully webbed until I saw this one on the glass sunroof; it's amazing how perfectly they're designed down to that beak for catching fish.

Yeah, my daughter loved Alaska, lived in Anchorage for several years and then on Kodiak Island for several more years. She served for almost 10 years in Coast Guard communications and public affairs. She loved the job, did much good work.
And, yes, I did get bear video.

Wow. I looked at applying to the Coast Guard Academy in New London! It was only really 'cause my best guy friend in high school wanted to go. Then he didn't get in (didn't have the best SAT scores), yet they would absolutely not stop sending me materials. 😅 So awkward. We'd been in the same SAT prep class and I tried to help him study, but it always ended in "wrestling". Lol, boys. Good for your daughter; she really did the thing! Have you ever posted the bear video? It must've been so cool to be that close to bears.
