Alaska does have pretty sunsets


And it brings out the crowds too! I was a little slow to get out and shoot the sun going down. I got to the boat launch right after it went behind the mountains. But Macy and I weren't the only ones down there.
I've photographed the Cosmic Wind before, but she looks like she's been put on the shelf for now.
The Fur Rondy Carnival is in full swing. Would you get on those rides when it's 20° out?

This was a friendly fellow at the launch that Macy got to talk with.

It was a good night to drive around for a bit.

Moose Parking Only!


As I said in earlier post, we've got so much snow this year, (118 inches so far) the moose are moving into neighborhoods where the snow isn't as deep. This way they have easier access to food and it's also easier for them to get around.
When it's time to take a nap, it really doesn't matter where you are. In front of the garage, in someones backyard, it don't really matter, it's nap time.

Much to Macy's objection, this moose seems to have adopted our small neighborhood. Many of the bushes are now professionally pruned back by moose landscaping.

2012 World Championship Dog Weight Pull

For the past 3 years I've been shooting at the World Championship Dog Weight Pull. This year it wasn't an offical Rondy event, but the turn out by fans was fantastic. The weather was decent, 19° and sunny. There was a wide varity of dogs represented.
You can tell the handlers love their dogs and the dogs love them. They get excited to pull that sled.
Even the smallest got to prove how tough they are.

I almost can't wait until next years event. It just keeps getting better and better.

Visiting moose

We've got so much snow this year, that the moose have moved further into town. It's easier to get arround in the plowed streets and parking lots. It's also easier to get to the bushes in everyones yard.

They don't always move fast enough or even at all. Taking Macy out for a walk sometimes is a challange too. She thinks she can take that moose.
