Back in the Snow

Thank you God for snow! We have had so much snow up at the lake, I love it! This warmer weather we've had has dropped the level some, but then it snowed again last night and I think its gonna stick before it gets cold again this weekend. I think I heard that there will be some more ice racing going on out at the lake. Klint and Kris organized a party a couple weekends ago and it was so cold. I was sick and only ventured out to the lake a couple times for a few quick pictures and then scurried back into the warm cozy house.

A couple days ago there was a moose hanging out in the driveway. He only had one antler, which Dad was hoping would drop off right there where he could get to it easy, but nope, the moose held on to that thing. I think his lopsided head deemed him harmless to Mom's little dog Chewy, cause he just went right up to it barking warnings and threats... that little dog amazes me sometimes.

So here are some pictures of the last ice race and also a few of the one-antlered moose in the yard.

Here I am!

Since my last entry in North Carolina....



Just a few pictures that I developed after I got back home from North Carolina. I got home just before Christmas and it was so great to be back with the family for the holidays.

I have switched my camera out and officially went digital. The pictures in the slide show are my last pictures from the rolls of film that were sitting on my shelf back in my apartment in NC. I never developed them there, just because I was unfamiliar with any processing place and was too stingy with them to trust them to a place I didn't know.

But here they are. And here I am back in AK.
