I spent the last 4 days at a conference. Work, yes, but in a beautiful coastal town in country Victoria, Australia. Did manage to fit in a little beach time! Back to work today AND… it was tough.

Dozing in the snow
I have been home now for just over 2 weeks. The trip was AMAZING, even the work part was really interesting and relevant to my own research. I captured this shot of Doza on the last day, looking out from our balcony. He didn’t mind the snow, but preferred to be snuggled up near the furnace 😉
Snow bunnies (and sloths)
I am in Colorado for a conference now – at a ski resort up in the mountains. It’s so beautiful! It’s nearing the end of their ski season but there’s still a ton of snow around and plenty of people out enjoying it. I haven’t seen snow since I was 5 years old, so it’s a bit of a novelty to me. Whilst I am not going to go skiing (it’s a conference, I have to work, so a day’s lift ticket is kinda wasted, plus I’m overseas and haven’t skiied before and don’t want to break a leg) I am definitely still enjoying this “winter wonderland”. Today on our afternoon break I went for a trail walk in the woods. It was so lovely, hearing my boots crunch on the ground, watching a squirrel, being alone with my thoughts in a really beautiful place. Although I did sink in up to my knees when I stepped off the path to try and grab a picture of a stream of meltwater. Oh well. I also made a snow sloth. But it was cold so it’s only small.
Oh yeah, and the conference is good too, some great talks blah blah blah.

Networking and Napping
A day full of seminars today with the School Symposium. Then a dinner meeting with more seminars in the evening. Supervisor was going to come with me tonight but couldn’t make it, so I had to network all on my lonesome. It’s tough! Did a bit of it in Italy at the conference there, so I’ve had quite a bit of practice this year.

Conference Sloth
I’m in Sydney for a 3 day conference at Manly. The hotel is right on the beach and it’s beautiful weather here; almost makes you want to skip a day full of seminars! Doza has been helping me with some trans-state work before bedtime.
