There is also a mural artist here named Wyland who is apparently hella famous. He did something for the Olympics I think. Now he's supposed to paint one here, but I haven't seen any brushes come out yet. Here's Wyland:

Well, it's time for dinner. Then I'll be attending a talk by an awesome photographer, whom I may showcase on tomorrow's TPAD. After that, raging. It's another Chugach Band performance tonight, and the whiskey will flow.

| Wandering Tattler. You can tell by the nasal grooves and apparently the scaling on the bird's tarsi (legs). Breathtaking. |

| Ruddy Turnstone. Look at it glisten. |
Hee. Fun to see a shot of Sylvia Earle partying, while I wake up on a Monday. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI, too, saw wandering tattlers and ruddy turnstones recently (whilst in Hawaii, what, 3 days ago?). And freakin' albatross, and SOMETHING large-ish that companions postulated COULD have been a bristle-thighed curlew (& they noted my eyes popping out) but didn't get a good look at the beak, so cannot claim it. Tho, notice I mentioned it, just now...
Yes, re: new year and new blog colors. I also tweaked mine yesterday. 2 years is long enough to wait for a new 'do.
Your party sounds awesome. I love meeting people and getting to know them informally, and only afterwards learning they're hella famous. Good stuff! Party (&blog) on! =)
