Doc loves anything to do with the gold rush days in the far north. I think he was born about a 150 years too late.

Just back from Sydney's Vivid light festival.

The theme was our indigenous people.

The Sails are illuminated with the work of six Indigenous artists, celebrating the celestial Songlines of Australian Aboriginal astronomy.

This one is from across the water just below the cruise ship terminal.

Like the previous 2 years, we absolutely loved it and Sydney people really well behaved in big crowds.

Thank You Sydney!!!!

Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Mute Swan manipulation

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!
