Waiting for Spring.
Our resident snowshoe hare hasn’t started changing colors yet. Still way too much snow on the ground.

Red skies at night, sailors delight.
The USNS Bob Hope, a Navy supply ship steams past the Anchorage International Airport on its way down Cook Inlet and back out to sea on a beautiful night. It was in Anchorage supplying the military bases here. Safe voyage.

Lights, camera, aurora. Green on St. Patricks Day!
A bit of a display early this morning between 12:30am and 2am. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of haze in the air or this would have been the strongest display of the season for me here in Bear Valley. The aurora has been few and far between this season, so any time we get to see them in Anchorage is a gift.
Toilet Paper and Hand Sanitizer

Iditarod 2020 Ceremonial Start. The Last Great Race!
It’s time for Iditarod! The ceremonial start was held in Anchorage this morning, and for a change we had plenty of snow and perfect temps. We decided to skip the huge crowds at the start line on 4th Ave., and instead hung out along Chester Creek and at the infamous Cordova Hill. Lots of fun for everyone. As usual, way too many pictures.
