The boys are on their walk between storms; Eddy Charcoal is staying in, albeit grudgingly. Fancy feast helped. Tigers game this afternoon and Pistons playoffs game this evening! Been awhile since we said that. Deeeeetroit basketball! #PureMichigan #April2025 #nba #mlb

Looking out at our front yard and across the dirt road to the hills and fields beyond. The sky is all mottled clouds with a pinky orange smear above the horizon. The grass in the front yard is bright green now, but the red maple is still bare.

A lovely April morning in southern Michigan. #PureMichigan #April2025 #sunrise

The sun rises above the hills across the road from our front yard. Nothing but blue skies abound. The grass is green; the red maple standing proud in the center is still leafless.

A chilly good Thursday morning to the fediverse. #April2025 #PureMichigan #Today

Snow (!) covers our front yard and the fields beyond it. Our red maple stands, still bare, in the center of the frame. Grey skies surround the scene.

The Loneliness of the Groundling Luchador (Sketch of the Week for Week 13 of 2025) https://www.davideriknelson.com/sbsb/index.php/2025/04/sketch-of-the-week-luchador-rock/ #art #beaches #drawing #LakeSuperior #luchadores #LuchaLibre #MexicanWrestling #newsD #newsF #PureMichigan #rocks #sketch #sketching

A luchador ("Mexican wrestler") leaping from the ropes to smash down upon his opponent outside the ring. That opponent gazes back up at his imminent ass-whooping and mutters "oh damn"

A pencil sketch of a stone on a sandy outcrop over water. The stone is brightly lit, and its shadow is sharp and deep.

We’ve had a lotta weather in Michigan the last few days; nothing severe in my corner, but other areas got hit hard. The world looks washed and new this morning though; we’re not giving up. #PureMichigan #Joy #Spring

The front yard grass turned green overnight, and the pale sun washes a hazy sky. The dirt road in front of the house gleams with rain and mud, and our bare red maple centers the frame.

Under the overpass on the shores of Lake Superior. #puremichigan

A close-up of icicles hanging from a dark surface, showcasing their intricate, translucent shapes and dripping water. The background is blurred, emphasizing the icicles' details. Taken under a highway overpass where a small river enters Lake Superior just outside Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Area.

I awoke with joy. It’s Opening Day. #mlb #GoGetEmTigers #sunrise #PureMichigan

The orange glow of hope is just showing on the horizon, dark fields and hills behind. The frame is centered by the bare red maple, stark against a dark blue sky. In the foreground left, solar lights glow on our big “bird tree” stump.

Driving through an EXTREMELY rural bit of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and just passed a tumbledown house/trailer compound that had BOTH a “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden Flag *and* a Black Lives Matter flag. #puremichigan
