Summer’s almost over. Do you have your ducks in a row? #endofsummer #naturewalk #kcmo #ducksinarow 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
My last set of Iceland photos from one of our favorite days. No, wait—they were all favorite days. 🐋 sound on for video ⬆️ #whalewatching #humpbackwhales #iceland🇮🇸 #ArcticAdventures #makingmemories #tripofalifetime

Ragnar Jonasson’s Dark Iceland series is set in Siglufjordhur, the tranquil fishing village depicted in my previous post. We started reading the series a few months before our trip to Iceland; I’m on book 3, Blackout. The main character is Ari Thor, a rookie cop from Reykjavík who has an uneasy relationship with the villagers. In Siglufjordhur the townsfolk don’t lock their doors but they do harbor (haha that was a pun, get it?) lots of secrets. #RagnarJonasson #DarkIcelandseries #NordicNoir #thriller #mysteryandsuspense #fiction #lovetoread #Icelandicfiction #Icelandicwriters #iceland🇮🇸
Another charming fishing village, and a visit to Frida’s, a local painter & sculptor who sells delicious artisan chocolates in her lovely shop. 1. Siglufjordhur harbor; 2. church in Siglufjordhur; 3. me in Siglufjordhur harbor; 4. house with a sod roof; 5. telling my secrets to the town’s secret bearers; 6. Frida’s; 7. Coleman enjoying a cup of coffee among Frida’s artwork; 8. view from Frida’s back door; 9. Ben & Libby soaking up the sun & scenery; 10. Pat relaxing in a chair made of sod. #IcelandicArtist #iceland🇮🇸 #ArcticAdventures
