Whew! This last half of a year has been quite the journey. After spending our predetermined time of about a year in Alaska, the day had come to leave our temporarily-adopted home. The date was set for our departure and all the necessary travel arrangements had been made. All that was left to do was […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (November)
The snow has finally come and it’s here to stay for a while. I’m happy that I can enjoy this view outside my bedroom window. And though it may not technically be winter, as far as I’m concerned it is. Look at that gauge! I honestly can’t remember the last time it was this cold. […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (October)
Alaska’s been throwing all kinds of surprises my way. First, winter seemed to last forever and it was still snowing into late May earlier this year. Second, we got a much nicer and warmer summer than Alaskans have had in years. Possibly decades. And now? It’s the first time in, again possibly decades, that they’ve […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (September)
Just when I thought August was a month of changes, September rolls in. We had bluebird days, overcast days, snowy days and rainy days. And boy did we have rainy days. We almost set a nearly 100-year-old record, in fact, for the most consecutive days of rain (18). Not quite what we were all hoping […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (August)
August is a time of change in Alaska, apparently, and all of a sudden Alaskans go from enjoying summer to full-on prepping for winter. It’s kinda weird. The warmth continues… The month started out just like July had ended – warm with blue skies and hardly any rain. I was super stoked to get out […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (July)
Now that July is wrapping up, I can say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how many summer-like days we’ve been having up here. June was ridiculously nice and I didn’t expect it to last. But it did! Woot! People visiting Alaska this summer must have the impression it’s always like this. But, as […]
Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (June)
June was an unbelievably gorgeous month in Alaska. The leaves sprung to life, the days were long and warm and the sun was shining. A lot. We also had the pleasure of entertaining my mom and enjoyed touring around the state a bit with her. Here are some Instagram Photo Highlights from June Biking […]
Mr. Black Bear makes an Appearance [VIDEO]
I just came up with a theory. It could be totally wrong, of course, but I’m starting to wonder if the wildlife up here in Alaska can sense that we’re only here for a temporary stay, so they’ve decided to make an appearance on a regular basis – kinda to welcome us and make us […]
Tiny moose calf = Cute! [VIDEO]
If you like little fur babies then I couldn’t recommend a better place to visit than Alaska in the Spring. I’m amazed at not only all of the wildlife we’ve seen, but all of the babies, too. It started off with the baby calf and her mama who first visited us in late May. I’m […]
Sweet, Sweet Alaska
After the last snowfall of the season (I now feel I can comfortably say “last”), Spring has sprung in Alaska. (Most of) the snow has melted and the bright, almost glowing, green grass has taken its place. Every morning when I take Nani out, I inhale slowly, deeply. The fragrant air pixies swirl in my […]
