After the whole owl thing and all the stuff I was learning, I didn’t just want to BE around animals. I wanted to understand them and explain things to my friends so they could help me affect the future of wildlife. The more I learned, the more I had to keep learning. This album shows the path I’ve been on since then. A picture isn’t the same as being there to hear a rookery of penguins or feel the breath of a giant snake. Once you’ve been in those situations, you’re changed but maybe you can get the idea of what I’m trying to show you. I hope these inspire you to start your own trail. There’s a lot around that you can find. If you would just look. I started with watching a falcon I could never touch and following bugs and frogs around the yard. But if you do that long enough, things just build up. BTW Animals bite if you bother them too much. So don’t ok? Peace. Wildly, Chance since seeing that owl everything changed

Dear Chance, You are always talking about what you’re going to be doing at SeaTrek. What the heck is it? Answer: It’s a voyage I take in the summer. SeaTrek is where I get real-life experience on the ocean, and practice marine biology research. Trips like SeaTrek give me experience and teach me skills like scuba and sailing. You have to learn certain things from someone who knows what he’s doing and that’s how SeaTrek helps me with my goals. This summer I’m doing reef research and trapping and tagging sea turtles. wildly, Chance Dear Chance, So it has nothing to do with being in a bathing suit for 3 weeks and having beach parties in the Carribean and hanging out with all your friends on a boat? Answer: Noooo. Of course not. It’s alll about the science. Fine. Yes. It’s fun. Now go away. wildly, Chance Go to my SeaTrek PageSeaTrek.htmlshapeimage_4_link_0
