I love all seasons. But I can't wait to get back to summer and Lake Michigan. These waves were so mesmerizing; I sat and soaked it in for an hour. Lucky me! Where's your favorite place to watch the waves?

Looking for more of this. Found this graffiti in Montevideo, Uruguay—one of the most liberal countries on the planet. Where divorce became legal in 1913, women got to vote in 1938, abortion is legal and the country is secular (well, they do consider futbol a religion 🤣).

I have my students follow ocean science and conservation experts on social media for the semester. We start each class with "what did you learn about the ocean on social media this week" discussions. Here's the assignment including my list of folks to follow, in case anyone wants to adapt it. 🧪🦑🌎

The evening of this fall sunset was so joyful: people walking their dogs, a beach bonfire for a group of laughing teens, and the perfect perch for me on a weathered driftwood log. I love holding these memories, both sights and sounds, during winter (both the nature type and the soul type).
Sunset at Lake Michigan. The sky has a few wispy clouds and the sun is near the horizon. There is a small lighthouse on the left, gentle waves and sand in front.
