Lets take some time to talk about the weather. I am from a small town in SE Alaska, and windy/rainy/gray is the norm. Lately, though,we've had a stretch of high pressure giving us cold, clear, gorgeous days. The blue sky is notable because its seen so rarely, and all the rain gives the trees a green that shines the most when hit with sunlight. However, that sunlight is limited with Alaska's (still) shorter days, and my work schedule makes mornings the best/only time to be out in it. So, here are Morning Forest Tromps with Milly, my 1 1/2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer.
Looking north of town:
and towards the south.
This fall my town's most popular/controversial story involved the design of a new
rain gauge. Measuring 12-13 ft of rain a year is no laughing matter. To me, all this means is that the sparse sunny days are not to be wasted.
So we hiked mountains,
went to the beach,
and got out on the water.
Glad we did, too, because now its back at it, this time with snow accumulation heading towards 9".
Hi there! I found you through the participating blogger list for sweetpotatoclaire. Do you really have a German shorthaired pointer (or am I seeing things? I Have always had GSPs, and also live in a small Northern town (on the other side of the country).

I do have a Shorthair! I am recently initiated into the Shorthair ownership clan, and oh man, am I in love! Who knew they were so wild, but snuggly at the same time?! Not me. This blog really does run the risk of becoming Dog Blog, because almost all my photos seem to feature her in one way or another. Thanks for saying hi!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just amazing! I have always wanted to visit your beautiful state, maybe one day. Right now I live on the coast of SC.
ReplyDeleteI too have German Short hairs, one that is 9 named Amy and a 2 year old name Lilly.
I found you from Amanda's swap too, and I am so glad to 'meet' you.
