A week of solitary work on North Manitou Island wraps up. A storm delays the boat, so it continues for now. Damp, thundershaken, sipping tea.

A smooth bit of marbled quartzite sits on a rough granite boulder.

Death camas just coming into bloom, a crab spider waits.

The downwind side of a perched dune is smooth and light against a stormy sky.

A thunderstorm approaches over rough water. At the horizon, a band of clear sky glows peach.
