Fall to Spring Photos









Just a few photos from last fall, winter, and now.....Joe crossing a stream, our pet squirrel, Denali hwy country landscapes, the Barrow sunrise, and some spring flowers.....

Dry weather






Good morning! It's been a dry spring in our region of Alaska. There are multiple wildfires in the area, as well as further into the interior of the state. Last evening, Angel and I went for a walk and I snapped a photo of the smoke and haze surrounding Pioneer Peak. I've included a clear (before) shot from a few days ago, so the difference in conditions should be apparent. Also, a few photos of the Renfro's Alaskan Adventure planes for your enjoyment. Renfro's is located in Bethel, Alaska and offers charter flight services, hunting and fishing drop-offs, as well as a variety of guided hunting and fishing packages. They are a good outfit to go with if you are flying out in that area. Competitive prices for hunting and fishing, but none of that is "cheap" in Alaska. There is a Renfro's website at Renfrosalaskanadventures.com. Our nephew, Colby is arriving this Thursday to begin his first Alaska adventure. He'll be heading down to Cooper Landing to learn a bit about what fishing and summer is like in that area. Colby has a job with one of the local fishing outfitters that should prove to be fun for him. Angel and I are going to Denali Park for three days in early June. Hopefully, we'll have some nice wildlife photos to share after that trip.

I've encountered some problems lately posting for any of you who may have been attempting to follow. Angel and I are doing well and spring has turned to summer in Alaska. I will attempt to post a few additional photos this weekend.
