Storm approaching

July 21, 2026Lakes, SkyJonathan

Sun shining on pine trees along the opposite shore of a lake. A dark line of clouds is low in the sky as a small amount of blue sky and white clouds are seen above.

Serene scene

July 19, 2026Lakes, LandscapeJonathan

Pine trees on either side of a lagoon under a blue sky. The trees and the sky are reflected in the lagoon's still water.

The Black Lagoon, which I’ve mentioned many times before here. What a beautiful spot.

Two kayaers paddle on a lake as the sun sets over the distant shore. A deep orange sky is reflected in the calm water.

A few sunsets from my time camping up north.

In the north woods again

July 9, 2026Camping, LakesJonathan

Pine trees surround a lake under a picturesque, partly cloudy sky.

After a two-year absence, I spent some time camping in Wisconsin’s Northern Highland American Legion State Forest this month. The lakes and forests there have a beauty beyond what words (or even photos!) can convey.

Brooks Street blues

July 3, 2026Life, SkyJonathan

Looking up at two construction cranes in a mostly blue sky, in between two buildings. The glass facade of one of the buildings is reflecting a deep blue from the sky.

I was thwarted by a detour caused by these cranes when driving through the UW campus. On the way back to my parked car, I thought the blues in this scene seemed appropriate.

Take time for sunsets

July 1, 2026Sky, ThoughtsJonathan

Two people in silhouette watching the sun go down over the distant shore of a lake. One person is standing and the other sitting on a bench next to a dog.

Take some time to watch the sunset. Good medicine for your soul.
