We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

Visit all the boarders, Link to the Ark and check back for updates through Sunday afternoon!

You can board the Friday Ark by submitting your post here, leaving a comment or a trackback to this post or emailing fridayark AT themodulator.org. NOTE: Trackbacks seem to broken right now.

You can find previous editions at the not quite up to date Arkives page.

We are back from an 11 day voyage through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta, British Columbia and a huge number of large amazing mountains and shrinking glaciers.
Over the course of today (Friday) we should get all the submitted boarders from the past few weeks and this week tucked into their cabins.
