two photos from about a month ago of mundane aspects of the natural world where I live.
clouds change constantly, but in that change is renewal. the rock in the right-hand photo is probably hundreds of millions of year old, and it will be there in some form well after the last humans have died out

Two questions re: Yellowface

2. What do folks think of this book? I just finished it and don’t know what I think
