Arctic Tern

This little Arctic Tern let me get really close to him.  I 

think he was trying to cool off on his perch.  We both

eyed each other for about 15 minutes and then I left

him alone to revel in his breeze.  

Wild Alaskan Strawberry Flowers

I found a wonderful patch of wild strawberry flowers 

today.  It was so exciting to see so many flowers in bloom!

It's going to make for a wonderful harvest in the fall!!

Portage Valley...

Portage Valley is beautiful anytime of the year.

I took this photo about three weeks in the evening.

I am sure a lot of the snow is now gone.  We have been

blessed with warm weather lately...

Unheard of warm days in the 70's & even into the 80's!

Turnagain Pass

It's springtime in the pass right now and all the yellow

meadow flowers are blooming!!!

I'm loving our warm weather right now!!!!

Spring Violets

I was amazed to find so many little violets along the Seward Highway.

Hundreds of little clumps everywhere.

All these years and I never spotted them before!!

My Love For Chickens!

This is a photo of one of my sister-in-laws chickens.  She has

a small flock of free range chickens in her yard.

I was in heaven taking photos of them.

I can't remember the name of this particular breed,  but he impressed

me with his fluffy cheek feathers!

Deer Sighting in Montana

While on a recent trip to Montana, I had several deer sightings.  

We have deer in Alaska, but not in my area.  

I loved seeing them!!!
