I’m taking a course on Pacific Natural History. Once upon a time, I got a degree in Forestry and Wildlife, but since almost none of the flora and fauna I studied in Virginia actually occur here in Hawaii, I’ve been feeling like a fraudulent biologist. This particular Saturday, I got to take a field trip with my class. I noticed this shadow and liked how it made me look like an explorer. I also like that it highlights the $10 hiking shoes I found on clearance the weekend before.
