Reflections

Apologies for the sad and neglected nature of this blog. I wasn't sure at first if I would keep it up now that the program is finished but after hearing from my mom that apparently some people out there actually read it, I figured I'd better keep going. I'm actually in Vancouver right now for some much needed family time and to get my affairs in order and get my brand spanking new car! This also means I have an actual internet connection, so here's my first post post-program: a ton of photos! Stay tuned for more photos from our trip to Gwaii Haanas.

 

Jags Coffee in Skidegate. My favourite spot for a good cup of coffee and some awesome company.

This is how we do homework in Haida Gwaii. By the light of our headlamps.

The Port Clements Museum. A big room full of raaaaaandom things.

The white raven, the now-deceased mascot of Port. The other thing Port's famous for is the Golden Spruce....also dead.

Old logging equipment outside the Port Museum.

...with students in the shot for scale!

One of the many little islands in the inlet in front of Charlotte. The smoke is from a fire we made on a kayaking trip.

The Goat Man Tree. I don't know where the name comes from but it's mad fun climbing.

Charlotte on a cold, clear morning as I headed into town to catch the bus to school.

Me, red hair, in Port.

The Port dock...wharf....thing. It's lovely and apparently people swim off it in the summer.

CMT - culturally modified tree.

A clear cut block with massive blowdown in Jeskatla.

Moss :)

A huge CMT out in Jeskatla.

An abandoned Haida canoe, likely left due to massive deaths in the carver's family during the smallpox epidemic.
