Knowing that there are at least three places named β€œBug Tussle” or β€œBugtussle” in the States (in Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama) makes me inordinately happy.

It was a full editing year in 2024, and we released three books (two versions of one of them, so really four books). Thank you to everyone who supported our works this year, and we look forward to 2025! #hemeleinpubs

Happy New Year!

December 31 of my 366 Places I Want to Visit. Today is Orinoron Rotko (Orinoro Gorge) in Finland. It’s fairly small (about 700 feet long), but the scenery is simply beautiful. You can walk along a winding boardwalk pathway and just enjoy nature. #366PlacesIWanttoVisit #FortheBeautyoftheEarth

December 30 of my 366 Places I Want to Visit. Today is Whakatipu Waimāori (Lake Wakatipu) in New Zealand. During the day, there are forests, rivers, mountains, and streams to explore. At night, dark skies and (often) aurora are waiting. #366PlacesIWanttoVisit #FortheBeautyoftheEarth

December 29 of my 366 Places I Want to Visit. Today is Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. There are miles of large dunes with impressive mountains (sometimes with snow) behind them. It’s also great for stargazing. #366PlacesIWanttoVisit #FortheBeautyoftheEarth

December 28 of my 366 Places I Want to Visit. Today is Aulani Resort in Hawaii. It seems like it would be really fun for a family with youngish kids. It also has beatiful ocean views. #366PlacesIWanttoVisit #FortheBeautyoftheEarth
