About this Guide
Mid-Course Adjustment
Often even if things are going well, the best of us can start to get tired and a bit burned out. Take a total break, even if it’s just a short time: take a walk, listen to favorite music, spend time with a friend. When you are ready to dive back into work, don’t accept the mantra “I have to do this,” instead its “I get to do this” and when I’m successfully done, “I get to do that!”

Additional Activities
Camouflage
Find examples of camouflage at home, work, and around your community. This can go beyond animals to paint that hides objects, clothing fabrics, and much more. Once you start to look, camouflage patterns appear to be everywhere.
Fish Defenses
If you have ever started a community tank, you know that balancing multiple species in an aquarium can be challenging. Understanding which species are potential predators, and which are potential prey increases the chance for success.
Behind-the-Scenes
Sound Check
If you hear a bit of howling in the background of some of the videos, it may be Vladi watching from his perch in the kennel.
Whale of a Skull
We’ve been teaching for over 30 years, and there are still so many things to discover, like these whale bones at the Cape Perpetua Interpretive Center, Oregon.
Recommended Books
A love of books captured in vibrant journal sketches.
Skulls are embedded in human culture; these photos are haunting.
Just for fun camouflage principles in fashion.
Build a Library
Whether its digital or print, collect resources that assist in exploring, describing, and explaining the natural world.
