Fall Evening

My favorite season.

Camping

A fall hike while camping near Knik Glacier.

This is a representation of our camping experience this weekend. Chilly fall rain.

Macro shots taken with an iPhone and an olloclip.

Knik Glacier

This is from last week's trip to Knik Glacer.

Vintage

Lake Hood has some cool vintage trucks to Move planes.

Fall approaches

There was a chilly breeze sweeping over Lake Hood today, pushing a few leaves off the trees.

Best deck in town

Out to dinner tonight with Mom. No better place to eat than the Snow Goose on a sunny Alaskan evening.

Knik Glacier

What started out as a rainy day in Anchorage turned beautiful at the face of Knik Glacier.

Weather Drama

Nice scene at the 'ol homestead.

Alyeska

Nice evening for a ride up the tram at Alyeska.

Pt Woronzof

Went for a walk at Pt Woronzof at lunchtime today.

Star of the Garden

These "hens and chicks" produced an unexpected bloom that we hadn't seen before.

More Fun with macro shots

Both of these macro shots were taken with my iPhone with the olloclip lens attachment, then enhanced with apps on the phone.

10pm Rainbow

Softball

Roger had a blast playing softball for his company... that is until he pulled his calf muscle which may put him out for the rest of the season.

Trumpeter Swan

Trumpeter swans are the largest species of waterfowl. The largest males can have a wingspan up to 10 ft and weigh close to 40 pounds.

Woodpecker

The red patch on this guys head indicates that he is a male downy woodpecker.

Mmmm... Lunch!

Lunchtime Photos

Great weather for a midday break at the lake.

Worth Your Time

It is a rare occasion for us to post anything religious, but this is definitely worth your time...

We ask you as Matthew does in his well prepared, articulate presentation, "Jesus instructs that if someone makes you go one mile, go with them two miles. And so I’m going to ask you: Would you step into my shoes for a moment, and walk with me just one mile, even if it makes you a bit uncomfortable?"

Please take the time to watch this presentation that was nearly two years in the making... then share it far and wide if you feel so inclined.  --K&R

Beauty of Spring

The OlloClip macro lens attachment for the iPhone can bring out details in nature not easily seen with the naked eye.

Barack Obama Fully Supports Same Sex Marriage

As Andrew Sullivan says... "Obama Lets go of Fear"

Harnessing the wind

Saw these crazy kite surfers on out way home from Whittier.  The water temperature is about 35 degrees. Brrrr.

Whittier snow

We're not sure why this Barrow Fire Department truck is in Whittier, but it doesn't look like it will be making fire calls anytime soon.

All cleaned up...

...and ready for Spring rain.

Tree chippin'

Yard clean up

Time for a Birch tree to go that is causing some problems.
