Saturday morning at a coffee shop in war-torn Portland, sipping a latte while a Japanese easy-listening record plays 😌
A picture looking out a cafe window, of a coffee with decorative latte art in the shape of a heart, sitting on a table with a ceramic vase of purple flowers, and a street scene with a blue bike rack and chairs

A little respite for my followers today
Pine and deciduous branches line the sides of the Mosquito River in northern Michigan. The gentle rapids are stained almost black from the tannins of decaying pine trees further upstream The Grand Portal of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in northern Michigan. Autumn reds and greens color the tops of 200-foot limestone cliffs as the teal waters Lake Superior churn below. In the distance there is a stone arch, carved by a millennia of waves A forested path through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in northern Michigan. Lush greenery covers the forest floor with a worn path leading off into the distance. Several birch logs are decaying in the foreground A view along Twelve-Mile Beach in northern Michigan. Autumn trees flank the left side of the beach and Lake Superior’s waves break along the eastern side, with dramatic clouds in the distance

Had an outdoor engagement event today. On the downside, it was hot as shit. On the upside, bolis de fresa! 😋
