Lunch: a matter of life and death.
On a Friday afternoon walk in Asylum Lake Preserve, I saw a hawk stalking a squirrel. I didn't hang around for the finale - as a human in the area, I was interfering with the work in the kitchen.

The second snow of the second winter season of 2025.

Snowy, quiet shoreline at Asylum Lake Preserve in Kalamazoo, Michigan. A long fallen tree trunk, dusted with fresh snow, slopes from the left foreground into the still, gray-blue lake. Bare winter trees form a dense backdrop along the opposite bank, their reflections faintly mirrored in the water. Light snowfall softens the scene, giving the air and distant woods a hazy, muted look.

Looking down at the drain.
Looking straight down at the east end of Asylum Lake, where the water flows out into Little Asylum Lake.

A mostly dark brown beagle, with an old white face, sits in front of a lake that is still partially frozen. He is wearing a red harness, a blue leash, and a big smile.
Oh, it feels like spring! 65Β° and lots of sunshine, perfect for a walk at Asylum Lake. Bernie enjoyed lots of smells, got to bark at a few dogs, and had a generally Fine Time. (I did not get the dishes washedβ¦)
