Halo, I love you ;)
A lovely, full circle halo around the sun this afternoon. Gorgeous!
Denali playing "Peak-a-boo" at 1 am.
The light show at 1 am this morning with just the peak of Denali showing above the clouds. This is about as dark as it gets in Anchorage during the summer.

Happy Solstice!
11:25 pm. The sun finally broke through the rain and clouds at the end of the longest day to give us quite a show. The sun will set tonight at 11:42 pm and then we start the slow slide towards winter.

BBB- Backyard Baby Bears!
Just happened to walk past the stairs and caught a glimpse of movement past the downstairs window. It was Mama Bear and her 3 brand new cubs! They can't be more than a couple of weeks old. The 3 cubs decided to climb the highest tree in our backyard and eventually took a nap for about a half hour. Tough shooting directly into a white sky. Mom was standing guard below them in the thick stuff. It's amazing how vocal they are, woofing, grunting, whining, squeaking, Mom clacking her jaws. A pretty wonderful little scene that was pure luck to witness.
Watching the world go by.
Came upon this young bull this afternoon right off the road while biking the 5-mile loop around Bear Valley. He completely ignored us. He's looking very healthy.
