A very rare visitor this afternoon.

We had a gorgeous Canada Lynx in the side yard late this afternoon, the first one we’ve seen this Spring. She was really curious and hung out for almost a half-hour, which was amazing. And then she decided she wanted a closer look. Every once in a while you just get lucky.

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.
