A few random shots from late October

Trumpeter swans (and friends) rest at Potter Marsh on their way south. Late afternoon light was amazing.


I went for the sunset and got ducks as a bonus. :)


Moose on the lawn, just hangin' out


This is a good thing to keep in mind for you transient aircraft parkers. :rofl:


I tried out a night shot. A windy night, at that, which caused a little tripod shake. I like the faint glimmer of the mountains in the background, though.


We often go to the tapings of Shannyn Moore's local TV show, "Moore Up North." Here she's sharing a laugh with the also-ran Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Walker (actually, the best of three who ran in the primary, a real stand-up guy); Tom Begich, Mark's brother, who is an astute election observer; and Tank Jones, everybody's favorite body guard and PI. This was between segments when someone in the audience said something that made everyone laugh. I like how relaxed everyone looks.


This is Spenard Lake where you can park your transient aircraft for free.

2. Our urban moose are almost like pets.

Still, I stayed in the car for this shot, which explains the utility pole in the middle of the picture. I would like to have maneuvered around a little, but this was a mother and kids, so even though they've grown since spring, I didn't want to take any chances.

3. Sunset and Ducks

Oh, that is SO beautiful. That needs to be on walls, posters, postcards, everything. The rest are slices of life--moose, transient aircrafts, etc. Love it.

4. I can't imagine why that guy is called Tank

:rofl:

Gosh, the color and the lighting is just spectacular.

5. Everyone needs a lawn moose.

They're all gorgeous. Especially the 1st and last ones.

your plane pictures always make me smile.

That last picture is really very wonderful.
