No sunrise photo this morning, though I did get out for today's sunrise. I let my phone battery die, so I was left using only my eyes to experience what was, today, a slow realization that the sun had already fully risen and I was seeing a very pale orange disc. How visible was it before I knew I was seeing it? The sneaky circle quickly brightened to the kind of deep solid orange that no one could miss.

Without a sunrise photo, I'm giving you 2 photos I took yesterday afternoon at 10 to 5. This is a section of the UW Biocore where they did a prescribed burn in the early spring. It was charred black not long ago, and these are the native plants that grew in — very lush and healthy. That's our beloved Lake Mendota in the background.

In the background, you can see a bit of my favorite lake — Lake Mendota.

... stretch out into some late-summer conversation.

And consider doing your shopping through The Althouse Amazon Portal. Things I'd buy right now if I didn't already have them right here on my desk: Tazo Refresh Mint tea and a Teema mug. (Meade and I had a long discussion about the design of that mug!)

I accidentally had the camera on some crazy setting as we walked around our favorite state park, Governor Nelson. We were sober, but the camera was tripping.
