from lake superior

We spent some time last weekend in the Upper Peninsula. Cell signals, traffic (foot and automobile), billboards, and general commotion were nearly non-existent. Here are an assortment of rocks – chromatically arranged by yours truly – that we plucked from the shores of Grand Marais during a slow, lazy morning of meandering.

Holy wonderful. I’ve been wanting to post about these birdhouses by Jeff Canham and Luke Bartels for some time. See the Curiosity Shoppe for a few more glimpses at their handiwork. Check My Love for You… for some context via interview.

warpaint: stars

I don’t know much about them yet, but I am loving the two Warpaint songs I’ve heard tonight. This video in particular gives me chills. It reminds me of sisterhood, dreams, and random forest expeditions from days gone by. Beautiful.
