Genesis

First hike of 2011. Beth is in her "hiking Capris," God is in His Heaven, and all is right with the world!

We've persevered through many a cold, dark winter's day. Please just give us a few months of THIS!

Break Up

We're past break up, when everything melts and six months of dirt is released from the many layers of snow. What we need is a good rain - at night - so I can still see blue skies like these from my office window! (cel phone pic - I'm not really a fan - need to start bringing in a regular camera)

Knock on wood - I remember after break up in 2008 the forecast called for rain one fateful April day, then it snowed almost TWO FEET (April 25, 2008). We don't need any of that. It is actually going to top 50 degrees today for the first time.

Schadenfreude

Mizzou was admittedly overrated this year from the start. But when KU fans wear these kind of outfits, then cry when they lose to a team that didn't actually get selected for the tourney? Forget it Jack, it's Schadenfreude.

Tugg Speedman

First cell phone camera post from my office. But watching a tugboat steam out through the waters of Cook Inlet, which otherwise would appear to be a snow field a couple months ago, was just too cool. I wonder if I could walk to Russia from here?

I See A Bad Moon Settin'

I'm digging through the scrapbook. This is December 23, around 10:30 in the morning, two days after Winter Solstice. The pale colors of sunrise directly behind the camera bathe Sleeping Lady (aka Mt. Susitna), as the moon slowly sets.
