Surrounded by snow - my mind takes me back to last summer, and this very special place in Alaska's boreal forest. The table may be heaped with snow now - but in two months it will re-emerge, and Doc. Doolittle and I will be there to witness the first signs of summer.

It has been nine days since a big 7.0 earthquake hit my beloved state of Alaska. We have had over 2,000 aftershocks - with one hitting this morning that registered over a 5 on the Richter scale. Sensitive animals are still on edge - as are homeowners with buckled ceilings, cracked wallboard, and broken pipes. I have a daughter in a hard hit area, with water that resembles mud. Still, life goes on. Roads were quickly repaired (which was a monumental task) - stores are open - schools are re-opening this week, and folks are trying their best to "get back to normal." Lets hope that Mother Natures settles down soon.

*(It is hard to believe that when large earthquakes take place - even mighty mountains move, and trees actually shake. That is what I tried to convey with this whimsical image.)

Removed some street lights using resynthesizer healing plugin.

The silhouette in the image "Emotional loss..." was taken from this earlier work (June, 2015). Later , I found out that she was grieving the sudden loss of a close friend.

Additional revision work was done prior to posting.
