Home, Home in the Mountains
On our two-day excursion down to the Kenai Peninsula this weekend, I would have to say this was one of my favorite places we stopped to take pictures.

Alaskan Culture
This is really odd. It’s practically 10:00pm and it’s still pretty light outside as I get ready for bed. It’s even more strange to think that at 12:00 midnight tonight there will still be vestiges of light on the horizon, as I noted was the case on the drive back from Denali National Park the other day.
