Ludwigia Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 First of all, my utmost sympathy for all of you in the midwest who are snowed in and freezing off your extremities. The worldly weather patterns are wreaking havoc on us lately. Over here in southern Germany the sun is shining again, the temperatures have been rising for the last few days and the last of the snow has turned into vapor in my parts. So it was warm enough to mount my bike again today and take a trip to my favorite shark tooth site. Here's what I came up with. A good selection of various species and a nice Galeocerdo aduncus posterior. 5 6 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

I did do that a bit earlier on, but I don't really spend all that much time using the microscope. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Normally the snow stays with us at least through February, so it's quite an unusual phase. 2 hours ago, sharkdoctor said: So glad to hear that you had a chance to get out. Looks like a fun trip!

Canceled this weeks annual cold weather trip out due to the snow we got on top of the snowpack yesterday.

There's a joke here about saying "out" and "house" with an English accent and Ontario pronunciation then, right? (I spent a few years in Toronto and Kitchener back in my art school days.)
