It’s my favorite time of year at the Baird Creek meadow! (With a cameo by the rabbit guarding a nest of tiny bunnies in my flower pot.)

Tonight’s sunset was a good one, (and it looked a little bit like a dragon’s eye towards the end.)

A few shots from my afternoon at Barkhausen!

A few years ago, the city cut down most of the trees in my neighborhood due to the emerald ash borer infestation, and it’s been devastating to watch all the shade trees disappear. But today, the city finally replaced the trees on my street! Please welcome my beautiful new Spaeth Alder friend! 🩵🌳🩵🌳

NFL Draft Weekend inspired me to resume my Green Bay sunset photo habit! (I loved the draft hype, just also loved being far away from it.)

So psyched to check out this piece by Anj Baker in the No Sleep Podcast!

I just learned the story about Tracy Chapman filling in unexpectedly for Stevie Wonder at a packed Wembley Stadium in 1988 when she was only 24. This video is so moving and is definitely worth a listen if you have a few minutes.

Had such a blast at #awp2025! Feeling so lucky to have spent so much time among amazing writers and friends! 💜

Despite the best efforts of my very loud, very squeaky snow boots, campus was pretty cozy today. 🌨️

Finally got the chance to watch Flow, and Charlie was riveted!
