I can’t say “summer is ending” with a straight face because of course it’ll be summer weather here in Houston for a few more months. But the lazy afternoons at the pool are coming to an end, as school starts this week.

Incredible vacation. I shot two rolls of b&w film (expired Ilford XP2) while we were there.

What you see that looks like smoke in a couple pictures is actually steam coming out of cracks in the ground from the volcano we were on. Rainwater seeps into the ground and gets heated up by the hot magma underneath. And some of it stinks like rotten eggs.

More film to come.

The past two weeks for us have been all about swimming. Lyle took two weeks of everyday lessons at Houston Swim Club, and I am blown away by how much he improved in just ten lessons. Now I know why everyone raves about HSC. My kid, who two weeks ago was afraid to put his face under, is now gliding underwater and swimming freestyle. They teach them to do four “big arms” and then turn over and float on their backs to get a breath. His form needs some work, of course, but he’s doing it!
