The perfect way to start the day.
Absolutely never get tired of being greeted by Denali in the morning when we wake up and take that first look out the window.
Let's play Find the Moose.
Spotted this big one across the valley, lying in the sun on a lazy Sunday morning. Another really mild, record-breaking, winter with almost no snow, so the moose population should be really healthy. This is the third winter in a row that has been easy on them.
Blue skies, bright sun--and snow?
Looking out the front window towards Anchorage at 8pm, there's not a cloud in the sky and it's going to be a gorgeous sunset--but behind the house is a wall of cloud sitting on the ridge of the Chugach Mountains and the wind driven snow is making it all the way to the house. Gorgeous with the backlit sun, but it needs to clear up because we're supposed to have very strong aurora tonight.
A nice splash of color this morning.
It's been fairly dreary the last several days, so it was was nice to have this little bit of drama behind downtown Anchorage this morning. It didn't last long.
Bear Valley in Black and White.
We've had a nice long run of brilliant days with bright blue skies and boiling clouds over the ridges above our home in Bear Valley. Yep, this is where we live.
