Mt Mckinley

We took a trek up to Denali National park last week. It is very difficult to see the top of Mt McKinley because the weather in Alaska can be unpredictable and grey. Also the peak has it's own set of clouds that like to hang around. All week I tried to get a decent picture and took about 40 shots. On our trip back down we stopped to pay our respects at the Alaska Veterans memorial. I turned around to head back to the car, looked up and this is what I saw. The sky opened up for about 5 minutes so I could get this shot!! Maybe it was my favorite Marine looking down on me! Thanks Uncle Tom!

Mom's Snow Day

Living in Alaska has definitely been an adventure. Especially dealing with all the snow and ice we had this past winter. Lately the sun has started showing more (literally 4am-1100pm) and it's been more like Spring fever! I personally have been more than happy to see the snow melt away. Well waking up on Mothers Day... I got a very unwanted gift..... more SNOW!! We got about 4 inches!! I decided to pull the snow bots, hats and gloves out and we went on a photo shoot with my REAL present.. a new Nikon camera!! Here are 2 shots I got! Enjoy and Happy Mom's Day to all the moms out there who know life is NEVER how you planned it... it's even better!
