But this morning I stepped outside and the wind nearly knocked me down. This morning I stepped outside and the blue nearly

crushed me. This morning this planet is so loud with itself— its winds, its insects, its grackles and mourning doves— that I can hardly hear my own lamentations. This planet. All its grooved bark, all its sand of quartz and bones

and volcanic glass, all its creeping thistle lacing the yards with spiny purple. I’m trying to come down soft today. I’m trying to see this place even as I’m walking through it.

— Catherine Pierce, from “Planet”

Lake Kaindy (Қайыңды көлі, Qaiyñdy kölı, the "birch tree lake" or landslide), also known as a “sunken forest”, is a lake located in the Kolsay Lakes National Park in Kazakhstan, 129 kilometers away from Almaty. The lake was created as a result of a landslide triggered by an earthquake over 100 years ago, forming a natural dam that blocked the gorge. Surprisingly, the water that filled the dam didn't destroy the spruce trees. Instead, it created a lake and its cold temperature prevented the tree trunks from decomposing.

A little brown-belted bumblebee (Bombus griseocollis), so big and heavy they were pulling down the stems of the monarda 🥹 When they took flight near my hand their wings beat with so much strength it created a cool breeze I could feel.
