I guess this is the week for random neighborhood cat drop-ins. Look at this pretty visitor who popped in briefly.
Fluffy white and orange kitty who came in our open patio door, explored the house, got a few scritches, and left.

A nervous neighborhood kitty showed up on my patio meowing anxiously. It immediately came inside when I opened the door, and now is curled up in my lap, purring and making biscuits.

Just got back to Iceland after a weekend away, and let me tell you I have been chugging water like it's going out of style. It's such good stuff.

Way to keep it classy, middle aged American businessman shoving his hand up his date's skirt during fancy afternoon tea. Just acting like no one at the next tables could see what he was doing. 🙄

Today's walk in Iceland Wandering around town, enjoying the beautiful day and all the holiday festivities. Here's a yarn wrapped tree with a photobombing paraglider.
Gorgeous blue sky, sun dappled green grass, pale birch tree trunk wrapped with a crocheted panel depicting two figures holding red, blue, yellow and pink tassels. A paraglider shows up faintly in the open sky.

This evening in Iceland Music and (carefully monitored) fire to kick off the town's annual festival weekend.
A crowd of townsfolk sit on the hill in front of a stage, watching the rescue team light up pyrotechnics, while a guitarist leads them all in song.

Today's walk in Iceland Took my visiting sister to see Öxarárfoss
A powerful gushing waterfall drops straight down from the flat ledge of a mossy green and gray rock wall, and over huge black rocks below. The blue sky is covered with a layer of white clouds.

Our solar eclipse watching spot is not looking too promising.
A field of green grass at the edge of the gray ocean, flat dark gray line of the horizon, and flat gray overcast sky above. It's very flat and gray.

Happy Pride, Reykjavík!
At least 15 fully unfurled Pride flags held aloft by colorfully dressed walkers in the Reykjavík parade. Bright blue sky dotted with white clouds above.

Today's walk in Iceland Started out in a cloud and got progressively wetter. Came home drenched
Lush green fields, yellow wildflowers, red tipped grasses, purple lupines and (my favorite) fluffy white cotton grass below a low mountain mostly covered in a wet cloud.

Why does the ice cream truck only come down our street at 9pm? Are they actively trying to *not* make any money?

It's our Iceland anniversary today. Seven years have flown by. We couldn't be happier here.
The flag of Iceland waves above the wake of a boat, while mountains rise in the background under a bright summer sky.

Today's walk in Iceland Iceland in summer is so very green, and blue and purple and yellow and....
Massive fields of purple and white lupines spread out in the valley below low, very green mountains. Graffitied concrete remains of two small buildings sit on a small hill. A cloud filled sky hovers over.

“gluggaveður” (GLUGG-ah-ve-thur) is an Icelandic word that translates as "window weather" and refers to conditions that are pleasant to look at from inside but are less pleasant to be outside for.

Summer evening light (but not sunset, because we don't really get those in June) in Iceland.
The sun hangs over the calm sea and glows brightly through very dramatic clouds. The rocky, craggy coastline is dark gray in the evening light.

Today's walk in Iceland This guy's a bit scruffy still.
A brown Icelandic horse with a half-molted winter coat stands next to a less shaggy blond horse on a grassy pasture. Both are stretching their necks to reach more grass on the other side of a barbed wire fence. Many other horses are in the distant field. Green and dark mountains rise up behind.

From my American perspective, it's noticeably different to be in a mall buzzing with activity; few empty storefronts; and loads of kids/teenagers welcome and hanging out in groups. #Iceland

Today's walk in Iceland I took @onefootiniceland.bsky.social up my backyard mountain to see all the impressive views of other mountains. It's one of my favorite places and I'm glad I got to share it with her.
A range of table top mountains are shades of green and black and white under gray blue cloudy skies.

Gott kvöld (Good evening) from Iceland
Brushy slopes of a sumarhús community lead down to sun washed green farmland tucked below a range of gold and green mountains. Behind is a taller range of mountains with bits of lingering snow. Far in the distance, the ocean blends into misty rain and billowy gray clouds.

Today's walk in Iceland Low tide
A circular hole in the grayish/white clouds shows a brilliant blue sky over a range of green and black mountains. Rocky outcropping and a shale strewn beach are revealed by low tide in a bay.

The lupines are coming! First signs of new plants are sprouting. In a couple of weeks we'll be utterly awash in fields of purple blooms. #Iceland
The bright green, 7-pointed stars of the lupine sprouts are poking up through old dried husks of last year's growth.

Today's walk in Iceland If you look for it, evidence of an old farmstead can still be seen in the valley.
Under a brilliant blue sky dotted with white clouds, long pale grass folds over the edges of the rectangular remains of a small building. In the near and far distance, mountains rise up.

Signs of actual spring starting to appear in southwest Iceland
Close-up on I don't know what kind of tree this is, but it has white fuzzy buds in clumps on spindly branches. In the distance, the flat topped mountains still have some snow.

Today's walk in Iceland I lay down on the grass next to a rushing river, listened to the gurgling water and the birds, and watched the clouds overhead.

Today in Iceland Since we were driving right past, we had to stop at one of my favorite viewpoints.
View overlooking deep crevices topped with pillowy green moss, a line of evergreen trees and then the wide expanse of a lake. In the far distance, the filtered sunlight softens and brightens the land and waters edge.

Today's walk in Iceland Much of the walk was pretty squishy.
Deep muddy tracks on the far side of a small stream. Soggy ground in the valley before a rounded mountain that is starting to turn green but is still streaked with old snow.

Today's walk in Iceland The soggy remains of a not-quite-finished winter.
Rounded mountains striped with white snow rise up toward a gray clouded sky. Next to a gravel path, golden, wet winter grass fills a field.

Today's walk in Iceland Clear and sunny but sooo very windy. I passed a group of (crazy 🙂) runners going up the mountain to my right (not in this photo), through the remaining snow and ice and, I'm assuming, trying not to get blown off.
Brilliant blue sky over snow topped table mountains. A dark gravel road bordered by old snow and pale winter grass leads away toward them.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNonsense The sign hints at the fun inside this restroom at Café Babalú in downtown Reykjavík.

Oh FFS, stop saying he chickened out. He was threatening massive harm, not a freaking defamation lawsuit. Be glad he's not following through on those threats (for now).

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

Good morning from Iceland. Lovely view today.
The view from inside. Plants stand next to a blanket-strewn rocking chair. Snow completely obscures floor to ceiling windows.
