This is a reflection on my trip to my family cottage in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where I walked with #Thoreau on Mackinac Island as the redstart sang.

Come for Thoreau talking about moonlight, stay for a little tidbit on the history of photography:

When humans interpret their grief as primarily psychological or emotional they misunderstand its primary function and underestimate its potency. Human mourning is an imperfect imitation of the mourning of nature. While nature’s grief is perpetual, humanity’s grief is temporary and limited.
