Happy 4th--and 5th, of July!
Okay, so it's tough to do fireworks in Anchorage when they start at 11:50 pm and still have to fight the bright sunset. Maybe we should just save them until Winter Solstice instead ;)

Sitting at the kitchen table this morning when a cow moose and her newborn calf came bolting out of the neighbor's driveway and headed up the street above our place. Minutes later this guy came out. I think he was chasing the calf and gave up. He walked up our driveway, stuck out his tongue at me then disappeared into the woods.

Early morning visitor to the backyard, delicately picking dandelions one by one.
A lovely, full circle halo around the sun this afternoon. Gorgeous!
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.
