Two quick announcements: First, applications for the Hubbard Fellowship are due September 30. If you are or know a recent college graduate looking for a year-long experience with The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska, please check out the information here. Second, September 25 will be the 10th anniversary (!!) of this blog. It seems like we should have some kind of celebration, but I’m not sure what. Any ideas? Let me know – Thanks.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sun. It was cold and blustery early in the week and wet and dreary since. That stands in stark contrast to last week, which was dominated by cloudless sunny skies. For those of you who, like me, are missing the sunshine, here is a series of photos from last week that feature the sun. Enjoy your weekend!
