This should look even more interesting during fall overturn in the central basin - looks like it doesn’t need much more surface cooling to go fully mixed.

Wide-angle coastal photograph at sunset showing bright yellow evening-primrose wildflowers growing along a grey rocky riprap shore in the foreground. The rocky shoreline curves from the left towards a calm, dark blue body of water, leading to a vibrant orange sunset on the horizon. High wispy cirrus clouds stretch across a blue sky, and a distant sailboat rests on the water near a far breakwater

Toad woke up. “Drat!” he said. “This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.” Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Toad hides in bed from the mess of his house, while Frog looks on.

A dark, moody night photograph looking out over a calm body of water. On the left, silhouetted trees frame a shoreline where a small campfire glows warmly in the darkness. A jettied breakwater extends into the dark water. On the horizon, a fiery orange sunset glow fades into a teal transition band before giving way to a deep, dark night sky.

A dramatic, wide-angle low-view shot of a sandy beach looking out over a vast body of water under a dynamic sky. In the foreground, fine patterns are etched into the wet sand. A large, weathered piece of driftwood juts sharply out of the water as a reaching arm. In the distance, a tree-lined shoreline stretches toward a small lighthouse on the horizon. The sky is filled with heavy blue and gray clouds contrasted by bright, sunlit white clouds, while the far-right horizon glows with a vibrant orange and yellow sunrise.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.
