| One of our new friends |
After over a semester, the songbirds have finally found my
birdfeeder. Gerald, the hummingbird, has
been visiting regularly since we put up the two feeders last fall, but until
this week we hadn’t been visited by any other bird. It’s exciting to see the new faces and I’m
happy to learn the purchase wasn’t in vain.
Unfortunately I have yet to get a good picture of them because they’re
most active in the early morning before the condensation goes away.

| Narnia |
On Saturday my roommate and I took one of our friends to
explore south-campus (the Graduate school).
Somehow she hadn’t ever managed to make it over there in the last year
and a half. The graduate campus is just
as lovely as the undergraduate side and inside a set of bushes off to the side
of campus resides Narnia. There is a gap
down the middle of a hedge that is cleared out enough for people to walk
through and students will come and decorate it with their old art pieces. It’s a really neat place. I recommend visiting some afternoon when no
one else is there.

| Clamydomonas |
In bio we’re playing with Clamydomonas, a type of green algae. We’ve been measuring the length of their
flagella using a decently expensive microscope with a very expensive
camera. They are kinda cute. It’s a bit challenging to get them entirely
in focus, but I really love playing with the microscopes. Tomorrow we’ll be recording the rate of their
flagella growth which, to me at least, sounds like a fun time.
