I was just released from the hospital two days ago, after a tumble that has rendered my left knee useless for a few weeks. So, I wanted to wish all of my Flickr friends a very Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays - and fantastic 2025, a couple of days earlier than I planned on. I will be seeing your posts however, so you can cheer me up with your lovely images. Take care - Jeanne

Rural Alaskan children must be tough to endure Halloween. It is usually cold and snowy, so bundling up against the cold is the norm. However, this year it is above zero and the forests have scant snowfall. Which makes one wonder if the bears are still roaming about looking for a place to den up for the winter - or will they be out trick or treating tonight, looking for a one last tasty item to snack on before bedding down? Accompanying parents might want to keep a weapon at the ready in the event of a bear encounter.

Happy Halloween from our cabin to yours!

Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.

(Kate Angell)

I was recently given one single dahlia blossom, the size of a dinner plate! While the giant blossom literally took my breath away - I looked into the middle of the flower and found its inner beauty even more lovely.

Digital tweak of a lost summer memory

and waited, and waited. I really wanted to see a train go through this stretch of track. No train came along while I was there. I was bummed. Maybe another day.

Traveling to Valdez along the Richardson Highway, you will see some beautiful waterfalls tumbling down the mountainsides, and dropping right beside the edge of the road. There are large pull offs, for those that want to stop and take in the scenery, and snap a few pictures.

*(This high-volume cataract plunges from the 300-foot cliffs in Keystone Canyon near Valdez in a series of classic-looking cascades, vividly suggesting a bride’s adornment. Only a few hundred yards north of Horsetail Falls, Bridal Veil is one of many snow-fed waterfalls inside the three-mile-long canyon. With your back to the highway, and the river at your foot—and the whoosh of falling water filling your ears—you might feel as though you’re down inside a deep gorge. In winter, these falls freeze into immense ropey curtains that draw ice climbers from all over the world.)

Having fun putting together some colour and b&w images of Mr. Bruce Cockburn and the very talented Jenny Scheinman taken at an outdoor concert in 2014.
