The sky came down to touch my feet

Lake Michigan at sunset. The sun has already gone past the horizon, and the sky near horizon is ablaze in orange. Most of the sky is overcast is gray clouds which are lit below by the sun's red light. The water and the beach are both dark, but at their meeting when a wave pulls back into a thin sheet the sky's reflection shines bright in a gradient that ranges from orange to an almost magenta red

I had a good time at the grand rapids protest and had some really fucking good sushi at sushi yama

A straw hat pirate flag next to an American flag in front of a crowd of people and under tree branches. A sign says "our grandparents were antifacist in WW2 it is American as it gets"

A crowd of protestors walking down the street there are many signs including "make racism wrong again" "it is my patriotic duty to call out bullshit" "child free cat lady 4 democracy" and "release the Epstein files"

A large group of people standing on Rosa Parks circle in inflatable costumes, mostly unicorns but also a sloth, axolotl, donkey, elephant, and t rex. I saw some frogs earlier.

Some spicy tuna sushi, I forget what its name was 😅 It is rolls of rice with fillings which are topped with tuna, red sauce, and white and black sesame seeds.

I like watching the waves but I love to be in them

Sunset on lake Michigan from the top of a dune overlook. The sky is darker but the horizon is brighter now in comparison. The lake looks flat out in the open water but nearer shore it has waves whose ripples darken the reflection of the sky.

The sunset is orange and yellow with a dark strip at the horizon. The waves have gotten a bit more distinct now.

There are two people walking along the beach down below. As well as the larger wave pattern there is another shorter smaller wave moving perpendicular from right to left, maybe bouncing off the shore?

The sunset is a beautiful bright orange which quickly begins to fade into darkness. The whole picture is framed by leaves from the trees growing on top of this dune.

We still get plenty of great sunsets all year round but they look better neck deep in the lake

A diagonal picture of the sunset on lake Michigan as seen from the beach. The lake's edge is broken by bubbles and bright orange light. The horizon is burning and the sun is expanding.

The sun has fallen out of view and the horizon is orange and dull purple. The rest of the pale sky is darkening into night. Residual light reflecting off the lake illuminates as much as the sky does.

More pastel colored sunset. The lake is pinkish.

Here the sky is more orange and peach colored and so is the lake to reflect that.

From a few weeks ago

A still day on lake Michigan and we are in the water. The sun is a hazy blur in a clear sky. There is barely a ripple on the lake's surface all the way to the horizon.

Looking back at shore the sandy beach is bright in the sun and the water is like a fun house mirror reflecting the land. There are trees and beach grass on the short dune. The sky is bright blue.

Looking down the shoreline the thin green strip of land disappears into the distance. The clear water shows the lake's sandy bottom with some dancing rays of light. Gentle curves on the lake's surface reveal the suggestion of waves.

Now we are sitting on the beach and the sun is nearing the horizon. The sky and the lake are bright orange. The sun's halo and reflection on the water resemble a cobra.

I've been taking lots of pictures that I'll get around to sharing eventually but lately whenever I'm not in the woods or at the water I'm playing hades 2

A boulder in a clearing in a pine forest. The boulder is light in color and has scrapes and scratches from its glacial past and it is sitting on green grass.

Is it good when a bridge does that?

A large hole on the side of a bridge made of concrete, where pieces of the side come together. It is a highway with lots of traffic. There are murals of a bee and other animals painted on the wall of the tunnel underneath and there is an orange construction barrier at the end of the tunnel for unrelated work.

Remember a few days ago when that judge said we should impeach the president

A court document about a first amendment case written by the judge
"In the golden age of our democracy, this opinion might end here. After all, the facts prove that the president himself approves truly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of free speech on the part of two of his senior cabinet secretaries. One would imagine that the corrective would follow as a matter of course from the appropriate authorities. Yet nothing will happen. The department of justice represents the president, and Congress is occupied with other weighty matters."

I was super jealous of that van, the inside looked so comfortable and spacious

A painting of a black woman with a few tears in her eyes, a spray paint style crown is on her head and her large afro is the color of sky with clouds included.

A golden painting of a woman standing in flames and surrounded by leaves. She is holding a pomegranate in front of her belly.

A metal statue of a little guy with a silly face. He has a round head, arms, and legs and he's in front of a park and a tall building which is bright blue reflecting the clear sky.

A large van with a painting of the sun in the shape of a peace sign rising over a wide tree lined river. A Snoopy plush is in the driver's seat.

The veterans park always has a good selection

A blue and yellow painting of an archway likely containing windows. It is flanked by wide columns in the background with an American flag hanging between them and a fountain with paintings floating in it.

A small statue of a blue dragon wearing armor and spreading its wings.

The classic painting Starry Night recreated with rolled up pieces of colored paper.

A painting that shows an angry blond white man spewing stick figures that are tearing up the constitution and destroying the tree of liberty while a man weeps

I can't wait for next year! It's always nice to have an excuse to get some good food in grand rapids

Hanging yarn sculptures which are like thin sleeves between wide rings. There is a lime green yarn sculpture and on the right is a long thin yellow sleeve that runs through a wider blue sleeve that acts almost like a circular cage and to the left is a long thin green sculpture in a wide red sleeve.

The yellow and blue yarn sculpture with the light shining through it casting shadows looks beautiful.

A red and blue picture that looks like a double exposure, but it is actually a picture of a woman on the other side of a pane of glass so that the photographer she is also visible. The photographer is lit in red light and the woman on the other side of the glass is lit in blue light.

A painting that looks like the sheen on polluted water. It is white and orange and red with black streaks all over.

I think I saw maybe half of the art out there this year

A visual representation of a haiku painted on 17 lunch trays. This poem is written in English and japanese
"A world of dew
And withing every dewdrop
A world of struggle Kobayashi Issa 1763-1828"
When taken together the lunch trays show bubbles and drops of water reflecting red and blue circles against each other.

A sculpture of a brown owl above a white weasel in a tree with pink flowers. Everything is made of petals and leafs.

A red panda sculpture made of bright red petals with black and white petals around the face.

An opossum sculpture. It has yellow eyes among the white and gray petals that make up the animals body.

Unfortunately I missed out on most of the stuff in the ford museum due to the shutdown

A metal sculpture of a squirrel with little springs welded together to make the tail

A sculpture with a large black circle on top of a red tear shape that is intersecting a disc. The base has a triangle cut out which is filled with a red circle.

A life sized sculpture of a small horse made with horseshoes that have been welded together to make the body, which chains for the mane and tail.

A large sculpture with two shiny metal curves that suggests a flame like that at the end of a candle.

Last day of artprize and here's the winner! It was incredibly impressive looking in person

A large glass sculpture made from long pieces of glass woven together like a rug. It has the whole rainbow of colors.

A close up of the glass tapestry shows it has bumps and ripples. Some of the strands are wide ribbons of glass of a single color that fall from left to right while the other strands run diagonally from right to left and have stripes all along their length.

Another close up showing the wavy texture of the whole fabric
This middle section fades from red into blue and red and yellow and orange then back to red again with some odd colors mixed in.

Another close up focusing on the individual strands of glass that have been woven together. Every inch of this sculpture is a unique section of colors and patterns.

A flat day in the abyss

Lake Michigan with no waves. The sky is pale blue and hazy clouds obscure the horizon by blending into the reflective water. The sand on the beach is bright yellow in the sunlight.

The gently lapping edge of lake Michigan. The waves on lake Michigan are just a suggestion.

The clear water of lake Michigan shows its rippled sandy bottom. The sky and water in the distance is hazy white.

The sun is a shining disc shooting lens flares in every direction as a boat passes by on the calm water.

Had a great time playing in the waves

Lake Michigan with small crashing waves. The sky is pale blue with white at the horizon

Looking down the beach at lake Michigan. The coast curves into the distance. Long trails of footprints lead down the beach. A person stands near the water.

Crashing waves on lake Michigan. The sun is just off screen filling the top of the picture with hazy light.

Looking at lake Michigan from up the dune. The sun is a blur and the blue water is intersected by a wide column of white light.

Don't let Link in here

Two long rows of ceramic pots painted blue. Most are smooth, some are ribbed, and others have dark rims.
