People see what's in their own hearts. To me, this is what Minneapolis looks like: Mississippi River, August 2017.

@craniatology.bsky.social @firthermor.bsky.social and others are posting boardwalks: those places where we remember that we are made of stardust and water. Santiago and I love a good boardwalk. #nature #dogsofbluesky

Thank you @betsytacy.bsky.social for a warm writing community on a cold winter day. Here's one for you: Santiago above the Minnesota River as it flows out of Old Town.

Santi took us to a fairy house this morning, but the fairies were gone. We'll have to make our own magic. #findthegood #dogsofbluesky #dogs

All is not lost. To foster peace in the world, foster it first in yourself. Get outside. #nature #photography #findthegood

It took me decades to figure out that I have asthma on cloudy, warm winter days not because they reveal mold under the snow but because they trap pollution. I'm in need of fresh air. So here's Santiago in Theodore Wirth Park in 2022: sunlight, flowers, and bird flight. Breathe!

2018: Santiago follows Canada goose tracks beside the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Go where life leads you. #photography #wildlife #dogs #urbannature

Welcome to the day. Don't forget to notice something wonderful.

This is Santiago on the hitching block @betsytacy.bsky.social. I'm leading an online writing workshop with the Betsy-Tacy Society Sunday, January 11th. Ready to check in with yourself about your place in the world? Register at betsy-tacysociety.org. #books #writing #friends #place

We did a green burial of our Christmas tree today. #goats

Part of what makes my dog Santiago beautiful is that he is the color of winter.
