A broad, still expanse of water fills the foreground, so clear that the lakebed—small rounded stones in muted grays and browns—shows through beneath a thin veil of reflected sky. The surface is nearly motionless, acting as a mirror for the dawn above.

At the horizon, the lake narrows into a distant valley framed by layered mountain ridges. The mountains rise on both sides in dark, cool silhouettes—deep blue to charcoal—softened by early light and atmospheric haze. On the left, a dense forest of conifers forms a continuous, shadowed edge that slopes gently into the water; on the right, the mountain face is steeper, its contours more pronounced but still subdued in the low light.

The sky is the focal point. A scattered field of mid-level clouds stretches across it, each cloud catching the first light of sunrise. Colors transition from pale gold and peach near the horizon to cooler blues and soft grays higher up. The brightest band sits just above the distant valley, where the sun—still hidden—pushes a warm glow outward, illuminating the undersides of the clouds.

This light is duplicated almost perfectly in the lake’s reflection, forming a symmetrical composition: sky above, sky below, divided by a thin, horizontal line of brighter water near the center. The reflection is slightly softened by faint ripples, but remains remarkably crisp.

A pulse without leaves and becomes.

A pulse without leaves and becomes.

A gaze made constant,
where time forgets motion
and yields into grace.

The immensity of an open sky
in that nearness
between cloud and cosmos—

No sky its boundary
only quiet vastness opens
beyond both day and night.

No distance can prove,
all that I am
falls gently into You.

Last night I took this photo of M13 in my back garden. M13 is a globular cluster which is a dense region of very old stars packed tightly together. M13 is approximately 24,000 light years from Earth. Which means the light in this image is 24,000 years old… Pretty cool eh? #astronomy #seestars50 🧪🔭

The fiery glow of Sunday fades,
The old week’s weight now slips away.
Fresh hope blooms in the twilight shades,
To greet the dawn of a brand new day.

Photo of steep gray ocean, white waves, cloudy gray clouds. Light brown sand, green shoreline, and a row of birds along the waterline. Unsure what type of birds.

How confident should we be in a prediction of El Niño?

Seasonal forecasts show an emerging warm ENSO signal, but predictability remains low during the spring barrier.

On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

The refusal to be pulled outward by experience…

Not numbness, but kin symmetry
It is not chase,
It does not resist,
sensations, thoughts, desires, or fears.

They hang there, shimmering, asking to be grasped..
