Icy Days



It's been bitterly cold lately, but today we reached 34 degrees!
I'm ready for my swimsuit!!!
Hope it stick around for a long time, really tired of double digit below zero temperatures!

Popular Tree Canopy


These trees have beautiful canopies with their bent branches and log trunks.  
Always remember to look up when your walking in a popular or aspen forest.

Cold Frosted Days..


Beautiful hoar frosted trees along the Kenai River on a very
cold day.  The river is steaming due to the water being warmer
than the air.....that's pretty amazing since our water is extremely cold!  
The rivers streamflow comes from the Harding Icefield and some of it's glaciers.

Round Mountain


This is a side view of Round Mountain.
Right now there is a lot of hoarfrost on all the brush and trees due to the 
very cold days and nights.
This mountain is home to Alaskan Dall Sheep.
