I took a very early lunch to walk to see the fog downtown, but it had mostly burned off by the time I arrived. My walk home was in full sun.

Looking east down West Michigan Avenue.

Asylum Lake Preserve, Kalamazoo, Michigan. They closed the state hospital that was here back in 1969, but some of the trees grow as if they still remember the pain experienced by the inmates.
