Another set of Alaska photos for you. The fog of depression is slowly lifting. Enjoy.

Of the four orphaned squirrels, one remains. This one ran its other sibling(s) off. Here he attempts to hide a giant mushroom in the birch tree in front of my house… sadly, a month later I watched a couple birds pilfer all his hard work.
Low tide from the Homer Spit.
Seaweed glow
Some wave action.
I may or may not have gotten wet this day. A little too close to water, blocked in by boulders behind me, the tide comes in fast here. Wet feet and skirt were worth it.
Wild, but somewhat friendly, bunny.
And another one… which wasn’t as happy about me taking her photo.
Delicate ice crystals forming in pushki (cow parsnip).
One of the nearby rivers icing up.
Buddy enjoying the fresh snow from the safety of the front deck, which I fenced in for him.

  4. Beautiful photos as always, Tara – I’ve said it before, you have a good eye!

    You are fortunate to live in such beautiful surroundings (despite the cold which you can keep!). Over here (global warming?) we seem to have developed a fairly homogeneous climate – mild, dull and wet, punctuated by a handful of cold, dry weeks (when the temperature drops to around zero (centigrade)), and a handful of weeks in Summer when we hit high 20’s.

    Mustn’t grumble though, our countryside is beautiful – I couldn’t be doing with those really hot, barren climes!

    • Yes. It’s beautiful over there, I agree! I have sometimes felt I was born on the wrong continent 😀 but I’m definitely not complaining about the views and weather here either. It started snowing in October and has stayed nice and chilly until the last maybe two weeks. It’s been raining or freezing rain. A little abnormal for this time of year but not unheard of, either. You know these things go in cycles.

      I’m glad you appreciate the photography. I do enjoy doing it, for a bit of fun and it gets my mind on the macro and out of my head, which you know we all need from time to time.

      Like you… I couldn’t handle the heat either! Hence, where I live! 😀💕
