Another week just flying by. Its amazing how fast it passes...
We finally got a bit of snow. About 2 inches. Where is this fabled snow we keep hearing about?
Anyway i did a bit of a photoshoot with a couple of girls that live next door. We have to do it after they are out of snow which means the lighting is bad suns almost down but i still managed to get some cute pictures IMO. And theirs.

And for fun. I was trying out a new filter Pretty interesting no?

First Snowfall

2007-10-28T23:26:00.000-07:00

We had our first snow here. Not up in the mountains.

And of course i took my little guys outside. A few snapshots of my baby's first snow.

Next time i hope its not so windy.

Snow

Well its that time again in the Artic. We now have snow. Just a tidbit but we still have some. I went into the mountains and took some pictures of this pretty little strream with the snow. I really like them. So enjoy.

Alaskan Fire

2007-10-11T16:52:00.000-07:00

Thease photos were taken a year ago today. And as such, i thought it was a fitting time to show them off again.
Thease are by far some of my favorite pictures.

Dissapointment

2007-10-08T11:44:00.000-07:00

At the moment, i have no way of downloading pictures onto my computer. I broke the USB ports in this laptop months ago, so i cannot take the pictures off of my camera. Which is dissapointing because i have some awesome mounatin shots from 3 weeks ago. As its looking, its going to be a month or more, if im lucky, untill i can get a new computer. Chances are it wont be untill February. Again, thats if im lucky. Till then ill be doing occasional downloads while at my parents or my inlaws house. Where i can network my laptop and their computers together to get the pictures off of my memory cards.
In any event ill do my best to share some older pictures, but nothing new for a while.
:(

Autumn changes

2007-10-05T12:13:00.000-07:00

Winter is nearing in my little mountain side town up here in the artic. The leaves have all fallen from the trees. Its below freezing at night. And im expecting to see snow at any given moment. In fact when it was sprinkling earlier i could have sword i saw some miniscule snowflakes.

But alas, im still partial to Autumn changes.

I really adore this picture. The mountain was just tipped with snow, and the hillside was blazing with the fireweed.

Now what makes this picture so pretty was the sunset glinting off the Canadian Geese. A non perfect flying V, heading out of state for the winter ahead.

And i just thought i would share a few Candids from the mountains 3 weeks ago. Such a change from now. As soon as i can get my pictures off my camera i will share some new ones.

Farewell to Summer

2007-09-26T15:34:00.000-07:00

As the final green leaves change to a golden brown. I take a moment to pause and remember the beauty of the summer past. A few Alaskan wildflowers for you to enjoy. By no means the best, But a pleasent reminder that beauty is within the simple things we see every day. From a bee on a dandilion to the miniscule dogwood that you never seem to notice.

Forget-me-nots and fiddlehead ferns

The great thing about being related to a photographer is that you get lots of pictures for free.

Serene Scenery

2007-09-08T15:56:00.000-07:00

My photography focus is landscape for the most part. My children of course, but scenery.. landscape its what i do best.
So here are some shots of some beautiful Alaskan Scenery.

There was a huge earthquake in 1964 that devistated Alaska. It destroyed citys, towns, caused tsunamis ect. Here are two pictures of what the earthquake did.

First is a house that was once part of a town, its now preserved.

And this picture is a tree that died when the earthquake hit. The tree is still standing... but its gone.

This tree was growing out of rocks. Its roots totally exposed.

I love the feel of this picture. Magical

Thi windmill was... well it just attracted my attention big time. Whats fun about it, is that there is a massive glacier in the background!

Beautiful Bears

Of Belugas and Bears

2007-09-03T21:01:00.000-07:00

First we shall visit upon us, the Belugas.

Now The Cook Inlet Beluga whales are actually about to enter the endangered species. There are less then 300 Cook Inlet Belugas ( yes that is their species and class) left in the world. So in a way the few pictures ive managed to collect are precious. Sadly they dont come out of the water like other whales, they peak out just their backs, once in a grand while a head or tail, while feeding on salmon in shallow water. So the bits i have are their backs.

With out further Adiu... Belugas.

This one is even more special. There is a mama ( white) and baby to the left of the photo ( grey)

And for fun. What a Beluga looks like, the face. The statues are made of stone. Thease were taken for fun.

Bears

2007-09-02T23:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a few bears from my trip this weekend.

The amazing thing about bears, is that they can go from compleatly relaxed to action in just a few seconds. Its really surprising actually, how fast they move, how fast they suddenly change their minds and escape to a new activity...

Hunting for fish, and Eternally lazy.
