Took a walk today on the beach along Lake Michigan. The ice dunes mark the water line. They are unsafe to go on, but beautiful to look at. (Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, 2026)

My friends Michael and Cristan had come to visit me in Iceland. It was a truly Icelandic visit, because the weather was “Icelandic” and my friends were “all in” as we maneuvered in the countryside, with the wind and rain. (Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, 2024)

Dynjandi is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords and well worth the trip. The day I went, the trail was still under reconstruction but we were still able to climb up to the base of the falls. (Arnarfjörður, Iceland, 2024)
