I spent a couple of days at the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies in March. On this visit, I got to check out the new(-ish) aquaponics system in the greenhouse.
These goldfish shall be switched out for tilapia at some point.
We ate that head of lettuce for dinner. It was glorious.

Such pretty roots.
The sun was strong in the green house.
Rainwater catchment and filtration system.
I took a stroll in the hills surrounding campus and noticed island poppies for the first time.
They were a pleasure to see after a disappointing bloom at the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve.
Didn't get in the water very much on this trip, but did walk down the ramp for a quick dip before getting on the boat back to the mainland. I dream of a writing residency on the island someday.
