Bekers van mijn vijf oudste Nepenthes. Trompetten van enkele Sarracenia.

I spent a bunch of time this week glue-gunning LEDs into a T-shirt so I could dress up as the night sky. I gave up after LED #80, it looked good! I don’t think I’ve used a hot glue gun since I was a…

When did summer arrive? The last few months have flown by. Summer is my least favorite time of year, and also the season that feels like it drags on the longest. The excessive heat and humidity keep…

Wir waren ein paar Tage mit unseren Kindern (~5 und ~2) im Disneyland Paris. Vorweg: Der Park ist wirklich sehr cool gestaltet, die Fahrgeschäfte machen Spaß und die Shows sind super! Trotzdem würde…

GEOMED is rarely, if ever, in a city with an international airport. As a result, it is a multi-part trek to get there, then get back home. Today was day 1 of my journey home. I took the 8:40 train…

My daughters, Granbury TX. For Father's Day weekend, we rented a lakehouse, hiked a state park, and played poker. (I won, so I didn't have to do any chores.) I'm so glad we have this tradition. We've…

It was dark at 4:00am, but the moon was out and I could see just the hint of light on the horizon as I pulled on a sweatshirt and began folding up the tent. Camped at just under 7,400 feet, I'd…

The landscape of the Hudson River Valley provides a restorative balm and an unanticipated connection to the past.

A list of places I recommend to people that have never been to my hometown.

A double-week catch-up: gym streaks, a new router, and a chaotic Bellevue trip via LA featuring five-hour delays, missed connections, and Mr Murphy at every turn.

I joined a group that kayaked through the Waterford Flight of the Locks. We paddled about 1.5 miles with a total elevation drop of about 169 feet.

Northeast Texas I took my daughter on the Harley to Piney Cemetery near Harleton, Texas, a beautiful place. She asked me if I’d bury her there. “I hope not,” I said.

Backpacking with Luna

It's been awhile since I've made a state level map of any of the US States, but I got a recent request to map the State of New Mexico, and figured it was time to put another feather in my cap! New…

The Obama Presidential Center is a world-class investment in Chicago's South Side.

Over 2,000 sperm-whale sightings off of Dominica (2021–2026) from my dad's logbook, made into an interactive map and a Father's Day Retro.

These germanders are covered in bees all day, so I'm guessing the mantis was hunting bees.

Jag anmälde mig till halvmaraton på Tromsø Midnight Sun Marathon i september 2025, innan jag ens hade klarat min första HM i Uppsala. Då visste jag inte att träningen skulle gå helt åt skogen under…

We ended up staying two months at Town Basin. That was not the plan. But winter here brings foul weather every few days, and both Kerri and I had a mountain of work we wanted to finish before the big…

Summer! It's warm, everything is full of life and flowers are in full bloom.

Being publicly witnessable is something that's been tragically hard in the past weeks, if not months (that's why I ended up blogging about Sudoku ), but I went out to the mountains yesterday. I admit…

… and I don’t mean Declan Rice, of Arsenal and England. I don’t forget him because I have a football sticker of him on my phone case. No, I mean risotto rice. My longest-serving friend and I are on…

Arles is discrete, paved, narrow, colourful and burning hot in summer. A girl is walking on the streets in a yellow dress. It's morning. You're walking from paving stone to paving stone. The streets…

I had a lazy morning today. I did not set an alarm, and allowed myself to just lounge. Eventually I got up and found a place I wanted to eat breakfast, which was about a 25 minute walk away. Walking…

Photos from a few days in Paris and a short stay in Épernay: great food and fine fizz, record shop cats, showcase sumo, la Coupe du monde on the TV, and stifling heat. I didn’t put much effort into…

§ Hello there. Happy summer solstice, Father’s Day, Juneteenth, etc. § In the vegetable garden our bush beans have started flowering and the tomato plants are all fruiting happily. Did you know that…

I photographed a marsh in a nature preservation area. The image ended up being too bright, reflecting the bright sunlight overhead.

All my dreams come true ✒️ Written by: Abbie Caversham Wildlife Park is just north of Perth, and home to many RBFJs (round brown fluffy jobbies) (aka, my favourite type of animal). The day we spent…

It is with deep regret that I was unable to ascend the Alm this Midsummer. A consistent, welcome retreat in my yearly travels, Abtenau has brought me to many heights, tempered by occasional lows.…

Welcome to the Red ParadeThe biggest reason for Emma Lou and Dominic coming down to see us this weekend was that the Carolina Hurricanes’ celebratory parade was happening on Saturday. To get ahead of…

The northernmost stop of our 2022 road trip was the Mount Baker Wilderness/Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest area of Washington — and today, I finally have my selection of images from that day…

Old Fort Niagara is a bit of an unusual site for me to cover. Despite being at the mouth of the Niagara River on Lake Ontario, it's not really a coastal fort, because 20 miles up the Niagara River is…

Sunrise of the first day of summer on the Marmolada highest peak I wanted to write a bit earlier today; I’ve had so much time that it feels like I’ve already burned through half the day. I’ve…

As I write this I'm struggling to reconcile the date on the calendar with reality. How is July less than two weeks away?! Each time I visit the garden there's even more colors to behold. In this…
