Last week Thursday I felt a little ill. Nothing horrible, I was a little weak and sniffly. Friday morning I felt the same, but went to work anyway. I started feeling a little worse so...
Because, man it's cold. Last night I stood outside for a little over an hour just to get a few aurora shots as the temperature dropped to -30° F. I thought to myself as the...
The only thing I could ever imagine doing when it's -10° F is walking around in an ice enclosed ice park. So naturally Kate and I got in the car and drove to the World...
I'm working on a couple different photo projects right now so that I'm forced stay motivated on taking pictures of this freaking beautiful state and not always cooped up in the office. My first project...
That's a lot of snow! Can I go under it? No. Can I go over it? Maybe. Can I go around it? Not really. I'll have to go through it!Aaaaarrrrrr!??????!!!Don't worry, there's probably not anything...
You know I've been busy when I haven't had time to blog about wildlife encounters. First Kate and I saw two white-winged crossbills. Kate wants to post about them, so I'll just give this one...
Today it is snowing. This is the second 'significant' snowfall we've had in a week. Most of the time it snows only one or two inches at a time here, but it has really built...
It's been a good couple of nights, and last night left me breathless.Classes and work are in full force again so I don't have a lot of time to make new posts. I'll soon make...
It's so lousy when we have 15 clear nights in a row and almost no aurora, then a solar windstream crosses Earth's path while the Sun is still up. Pictures flood out of Norway, Sweden,...

We had a visitor at near our outhouse tonight. It was a young Bull Moose and (I assume) his mother since later there was a much larger moose near the neighbor's house. I wasn't expecting...
I went to pick up Jason from the airport last night/this morning. His flight was delayed and I didn't drop him off until about 2am. When I left his place and got to the end...
Yesterday our neighbor came knocking at our door to let us know that there were a couple of moose in her yard. We went over and watched them for a while. I tried to get...
It's a special few days when the Sun sets behind Denali when viewed from Fairbanks. It's so pretty I'm sad that not everyone can see it. Kate and I drove up Ester Dome to watch...
If you have never been to Alaska and find yourself suddenly in Fairbanks, one of the first stops you should make is the University of Alaska Museum of the North. Or stop in if you...
They were so freaking cool, bright, colorful, and everywhere! For about 10 minutes, then they were completely gone. I'm very happy to have stepped outside at the right moment. I ran back in to grab...
