Thanks! This is the video I meant to share. It's hard to asses how long it took since I did it over the period of a couple months as time allowed. Let me get back to you as I think about it!

Wow thanks!

It’s my map animation workflow in tutorial format (broad overview). Enjoy!

The way we’ve jumped from platform to platform ISO the least problematic one over the past couple years has definitely made me just use all social media a lot less.

I’m curious as well.

Good idea. I have considered making some sort of sundial marking the dates. It’d be a fun project.

It is! The change is so dramatic here near the 49th parallel too. How far north are you?

Tonight’s sunset over Bellingham Bay from the front porch. It’s setting so far south now as the days get increasingly shorter.

This is so great, Anthony. Truly a bright spot.

It sounds cliche, but it is true. Every time I mentor a budding geo-spatial person, I walk away inspired and hopeful for our future.

That would be a fun endeavor for sure.

I’m dog sitting Pip this week, and it would be rude not to share this cute face 🥹

I enjoyed them all. TBH I read them all so fast that I can’t quite differentiate between where book 2 ended and 3 begins. I was surprised to find out it is not the final book though.

I’m returning to report that I loved the series so far and I’m awaiting the next book eagerly 🐉

Went rock climbing in the North Cascades National Park this weekend and caught this shot 📸 of Joe on a beautiful 5.13a that I’m quite happy with.

This time, rock climbing brings me to Utah. Momentary WiFi allows me to share this stunning sunset. Back into the wilderness again tomorrow where I’m grateful for the lack of cell service. 🧗
