Anchorage Trip with Susan

Here is a woodland buffalo. He did not move that much, but did a lot of grunting. We saw him at an animal shelter for hurt or sick animals waiting to go back to the wild.
Here is his brother. No, really see his beard is longer.
Yes, there were two black bears out and about. I think it makes a difference when they are getting fed every day. Keeps them awake. They are not too big, but very handy with their claws I hear.
Baldy, the Bald Eagle.
This brown bear was really tall and dead.
Sleepy, sleepy reindeer. I do not know who was related to whom.
"Man these antlers are so heavy!"
"When I have a headache, it helps to close my eyes!"
Two geese just walking around in the mud near where I walked by the sound near the hotel.
We go to New Orleans to meet our two daughters, then on to Blytheville. Only two more weeks left after this week. This has been an eternity without seeing our daughters and son-in-law.
Another mountain picture, you're kidding? No, growing up in flat Oklahoma I am always in awe of mountains and trees. This is around Anchorage. Emmonak is flatter than Oklahoma; colder and whiter, too. It is staying cold longer than I remember last year. We had a little thaw about ten days ago then went right back to the teens. It looks like toward the end of the week we may see some 32 plus degree highs. I am up at the school with Susan. She is doing some grade entries in her room and I am playing in my room. We can't get reliable Internet in our house, so if there is something that has to be done we have to come back to school.
