It's Lovely Along The Lake Path Now That Some Colors Are Starting To Change.

The spring is fresh and fearless and every leaf is new, the world is brimmed with moonlight, the lilac brimmed with dew. Here in the moving shadows I catch my breath and sing. My heart is fresh and fearless and over-brimmed with spring.

This walrus is wearing an amauti, an Inuit garment meant both for keeping warm and carrying your baby around.

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

The Endurance was an exploration ship that became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica in 1915. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship was squeezed by the ice for ten months before being crushed, but the crew all survived.
