Let us try hard to be kind to one another as we begin another New Year. May nations join hands in achieving the goal of peace, that is so important to all of us.

“Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men.”

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!

Expressionistic manipulated photo. Highly regarded by myself, but woefull few faves.

Why the face in the window?... to see beyond the chickadee.

The image is a sum of 3 separate elements:

- The chickadee

- An old stone silo (found on the RBG grounds)

- The face

Last week our mail delivery person told us that pussy willows were spotted along the roadside. That bit of information was exciting by its-self, and then the snow buntings arrived, adding further proof that spring is on the horizon. The snow is still deep, and the temperature in the sun is 33 degrees above zero as I write - but for Alaskans, this is the start of spring!

A composite image made up of overlapping digital macro images of rough-sawn wood (to produce a complex crosshatched pattern) combined with an unconventional, faceless portrait captured in the early 1970s on BW film using a Minolta SRT-101 (with monotone tinting added more recently).
