I mentioned yesterday that it was very windy and the waves on Lake Michigan were mighty impressive, for a lake, yesterday when Becky, Andrew, Bea and I drove to Michigan City. I forgot to mention that there was a kitesurfer on the lake; here’s a picture:

More photos here.

Also newly online: photos of my flights to and from Connecticut last week, including this really cool shot of a Brocken spectre (or, if you prefer, Specter of the Brocken) and its accompanying glory:

Pretty cool, eh?

Incidentally, stay tuned for more pictures of my trip to Connecticut.
