Famous feet

No, not really. My feet aren't famous... but they are present in a full-page color photo in a magazine.

Over the summer, I wrote this blog post about a backpacking trip we took with the kids. We hiked in a mile and a half or so to a backcountry campground, and then hiked out maybe a half mile or so to Lake Michigan, and there, we found our beautiful beach clogged with the cladophora algae that has been proliferating in the lake.

A couple months later, I was contacted by someone from Michigan Tech's Research Magazine, asking if I'd consider giving them permission to use this photo I took in their publication, because they were doing a story about Cladophora.



I'm not sure how they found my blog, but I said sure, why not, and promptly forgot all about it until this week, when I received a couple copies of the magazine in the mail.



So, there it is. My photo of my feet and some algae in a magazine. Nifty.
