With sub-zero temperatures predicted for the next couple of weeks - I am waiting for the day that our boreal forest welcomes spring flowers. Until then, I'll see them in my dreams.

...added to this locked in ice composition are the shard of ice and goose reflections.

With subzero temperatures just outside of my cabin door this morning - I thought it might be a good time to play with Wombo and other photo software, to create the serenity of a cold Alaskan night.

Wishing everyone a peaceful week ahead.

How very fast we go between summer and autumn in Alaska. One minute my rhubarb bed is producing more juicy stalks than I can possibly use - and the next minute the leaves are turning ruby red signaling the end of the harvest.

Soon Doc will gently pull the remaining stalks and cover the bed with spruce bows for winter. Come early spring - (sometimes before the snow has even melted) - little ruby red heads will poke their way through the icy cold soil, and once again I will be knee deep in rhubarb.

No AI was used.

Pas d'IA utilisée.

Hoar frost has been moving in the past few days, and will soon cover everything that is exposed. This lonely cabin stands awaiting its frosty coating.

Homes are going through a transition in the US this weekend. This is the time that we put away our autumn decorations - and bring out our Christmas tree and poinsettias, as we sing "Deck the Halls". Happy decorating to all!
