May 2, 2007

I should be wrapping things up today for work, then off I go into the land of the unknown for a while! It'll be okay, they do these things every week of the year. Anyway here's a photo of my two nephews, Darren and Tyson, Jr.

Also, the eagle photos I have captioned "Knee Slapping Funny" and "Getting Balled Out"

Cheers!

APRIL 30 2007

I thought I would post on this final day of April to keep the months flowing on the blog. Worth mentioning is the fact I am leaving on May 6 to have knee replacement surgery in Anchorage on May 8 2007 -- which is next week! Yours truly is truly truly scared but in the long run I should be dancing with the best of 'em! Here's a photo or two of birds of course. And...spring has arrived into Sitka at long last -- although there is still snow on the mountain tops. I hope to see you in May as well! Cheers!

MARCH 8, 2007

Still snowing in good ol' Sitka, Alaska! But...the days are growing longer on both ends of the day, which is a blessing and perhaps a hint of SPRING!!! Think spring everyone. Cheers!

MARCH!

March has come in with a vengeance! March 2, 2007 brought approximately two feet of snow to Sitka, unbelievable! Yours truly did get out some to capture the essence of the storm. Hopefully this is Mother Nature blowing away winter for good. Cheers!

THE THREE F's: FEBRUARY's FADING FAST!

Short Month
Short Days growing Long!
Snow and Cold almost Gone!
Days of winter since passed
February's Fading Fast!

Cheers!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

FEBRUARY 6, 2007 - TUESDAY

Today the mountains took on a blue hue. It's a scientific explanation, but can't begin to explain it really but I do know that when looking in the distance, everything dark looks blue. So yours truly went out and snapped some photos of the things in the distance, and here they are! Blue ridge mountains of Sitka, Alaska. The merganser is in the Sitka channel, it was busy feeding around lunch time. The nice thing about the day was the fact there was no rain, no snow, no ice. Another faux spring day in Sitka. Maybe that little guy in Gobbler's Knob knows his stuff after all! Cheers!
