Sunny Days

The thermometer read 1 this morning, but by the time the later afternoon sun was setting the temperature had risen to 20.  The sun had a big part in the warmer temps and we all took advantage of it before the sun went to sleep.  We headed out to the train station and walked along the path for a little ways; it felt good to be outside and away from the computer.

There's also a few pics from last weekend's snowfall.  Mako had a scavenger hunt in the snow for all the treats Sandy was throwing to her.  Hopefully we'll get some more snow here in March.

Twenty Mile

The other day Mako and I were able to escape Girdwood for a little walk up Twenty Mile River, which is almost across the street from the Wildlife Conservation Center.  It was a bit chilly, so we didn't go too far, but we caught some clear skies for the sunset.  It's been a little while since I've been out with the camera and it quickly turned into a Mako photo shoot.   

We walked along the bank of the river which was covered in gray snow drifts from the glacial silt.  The ice creates a mangled scene with the tide breaking it up twice a day.  Hopefully we'll get out more and take advantage of the current clear skies and moon cycle coming up.  

She's ready to head in about here.  The wind was starting to pick up and I followed her lead back to the car. 

School

It's been a number of weeks, but not too many pictures have been taken.  School has become a priority, but I'll pick up the camera soon enough; however, the commute to school has been eventful the past couple days.  In the miles between Girdwood and Anchorage, I've passed a fox, Dahl Sheep, and a Great Horned Owl; not to mention all the views.

Pictures will follow.
