Appreciation

Two weeks in the field... every day waking up and being amazed that we were actually going to be paid to hike into this amazing landscape in search of adding to the cumulative knowledge about a scientific topic.... discussing biological concepts in ways we could observe and marvel at. Reconstructing our own knowledge every day.
