Taken at -20. Not bad!

"Break-Up" Spring 2011

This is a backyard view from the cabin.  This white flat surface is a lake.  We have really enjoyed family time here.



This Bald Eagle looking for food.  During this this time of year, you can almost walk across this river.  During summer months it is full of tourist and residents rafting and fishing.

These moose grazing on a golf course.

Very large Moose crossing

Out for a beautiful Spring day.    


Our niece, Peyton, sent us a Flat Stanley.  SO we took her Stanley to our favorite places for those pictures.  This behind us is the Kenai River during break-up.  Which is when the ice in lakes, rivers, and streams, "breaks-up".  ADVICE:  You will wear waterproof shoes/rain boots for weeks on end.  Some of these chunks of ice are 2-3 feet thick.

This is our friend standing on ice.  The air is warming, yet there are chucks of ice.  At this point, you are anxious for summer.  We have learned that Alaska has 2 seasons, Winter and summer.  Fall lasts about 2-3 weeks.  I am questioning if we are in the Fall season now.  By summer comes, you wonder when did spring happen.
