New Taxidermy Projects

**Warning: Some of these photos are (not surprisingly) a little graphic.**

Despite the busy spring and summer I had adjusting to the new apartment and job, I did manage to do a few taxidermy projects, including mounting a lovely badger and learning some new techniques for skinning (which I practiced on a squirrel I'd found as road kill in Griffith Park).

Working on the badger:

All done!

Our Seventh Annual Girl's Weekend

This year Summer, Amy, Amy, Stephanie, and I went up to Santa Barbara for our seventh annual girls' weekend trip, and we had a wonderful time (as always).
