March is a wonderful month in Alaska. You can just feel spring in the air, as the sun radiates its warmth, and the days lengthen. We no longer need to keep the wood stove stoked all day, thereby saving what is left of the precious woodpile, after a brutally cold winter.

It is this time of year, that most rural Alaskan's start scoping out the forest, for the trees that will be needed for next winters fuel.

Lovely Autumn,

Created for the Kreative People July Challenge 41 - Summer Expo from a photo I found my archives when I was looking for something else all together;-)

The textures WrappingPaperBokeh1 and SandAndSea are my own.

An old fishing boat sits abandoned, and waits until the rusty salt air consumes him.

Few people know where I captured this image - and I'll never tell - because the river is teeming with fish!

I was walking on a carpet of fallen leaves near a creek when I came up with the idea for this image. What if this carpet of leaves was to flow down the stream?. The biggest challenge was looking through my images trying to find a stream small enough to incorporate the leaves without loosing proportion and or definition (suitable for a closeup shot); then add a rock with water droplets flying into the air to cover a blurred area of the original image of the water flow, a few more leaves on the surface and rocks, and so on...(The camera settings listed belong to the stream image only)

My favorite veggie. I am trying to grow some in my hydroponic AeroGarden - wish me luck.

We still have two feet of snow on the ground - but beneath all of that snow - I can hear the wildflowers stirring.

It's Sliders Sunday, so for a bit of fun I used an impressionism filter in Topaz Studio 2 and slightly increased the saturation. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

During the winter in the far north, the landscape isn't entirely white. Blue shadows skip across the landscape settling into every nook and cranny.

Wildflowers grow prolifically along Alaska's roadside's each summer. There are miles upon miles of pink, purple, and yellow flowers.

This little bouquet popped up at the end of our driveway, along with many other varieties. After our long cold winter - it is so wonderful to see color again.
