Myself at -27 degrees, Believe me you're seeing all the skin that was exposed. By the time I took two pictures my fingers were very numb.
Snow machine with a fancy sled.
Dry Dock.
Yes, the windows are covered with plywood. No, not for a hurricane. Kids and Rocks.
The trees that floated down in the flood last spring. An enterprising man or family got all they could and are making different cuts of lumber to sell. The odd pieces are sold for heat in the village houses.

Bigger than life snow people.
Yes, this is oil on the wing of the plane I flew to Anchorage at the end of January to a state union delegate conference. We made it. Hope the next load did.
This is a character Susan and I have in our classes. He is quiet volume wise, but very intelligent and funny. This is a picture he gave me one day in class. Just for the record this is the first day I took pictures in my class. We planned to send friendly letters and pictures to go with the authors to my mom in Enid, Oklahoma, so she could match the letters with the people who wrote the letters.
While in Anchorage I caught the moon dancing with the mountains.
More dancing. It is March 1st and I am thinking a lot about the summer and home. We are flying to New Orleans via Memphis on a fair that is cheaper than if we flew to Memphis. Both our daughters will be there to meet us. Teaching in Alaska is very rewarding.
