The snow made a comeback.

A pine tree dressed in snow. But, as the photo is shot from below, close to the tree trunk, some green is shown as well. Another snowy pine tree with a heavy layer of snow.

My list of books-I-want-to-read-before-I-die is lengthy. And that can make me feel… intimidated? Overwhelmed? So I decided to stop looking at it for a while and instead go back to the classic book pile. Three books. The next one is on top. Less overwhelming. 📚 A hand holding a pile of books. The long way to a small angry planet, by Becky Chambers, Rabbits, by Terry Miles, and Wraith, by Joe Hill.

One more from our ice escapade yesterday. And a unique behind-the-scenes look of yours truly, snapping photos in the most dignified and graceful way possible. A top-down closeup of a frozen lake. There are cracks in the frosty ice, and the photo has a delicious blue tint over it. A man standing on a frozen lake. He's holding a smartphone far away from his body in an awkward position. He's probably about to take a picture.

We went out for a photo session on the ice today. 🧊

Bent over backward to get this view of Saint Katarina’s church ruin in Visby. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get this shot straight. My back must be crooked. 😅

A couple of weeks ago, I finished Bubble. A nicely illustrated, action-packed, sci-fi adventure; seasoned with a pinch of social satire. The elevator pitch? Hmm. 🤔 Monster-hunting in a gig economy graphic novel! 📚

Photo of a spread from a graphic novel. One page is a close-up of a woman grabbing a bite from a wrapped sandwich. The other page depicts a casual conversation between two friends in a bathroom. Despite a dead alien hanging from the roof, they seem carefree.
