Yesterday, I decided to entertain myself with an image of gazania. Being that I wanted to make a statement, I used a few effects and for added measure, I saturated the colours. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for viewing this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

I can't seem to stop playing around with these photos of electrical conduits.

Sitting outside of the Glennallen IGA store - I noticed that a little Raven had land on the nearby sculpture and was proceeding to yell at the wooden eagle. I guess he was letting the eagle know that he was claiming all of the salmon as his own.

I never tire of watching Alaska's wildlife, as it is so entertaining. HSS!

This cabin is nestled along the Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska. If you long to escape the pressures of the modern world - there is nothing better than a tiny cabin in the wilderness.

I was sitting at a local restaurant waiting for my meal to arrive, and found myself looking through my water glass at the various colorful objects behind it. Suddenly I found myself dreaming of traveling the world on a CruiseShip, and exploring every stop along the way - that is; until the waitress arrived with my lunch, and I snapped myself out of my daydream, and re-engaged with the real world around me.

HSS!

Summers simply wouldn't be right without the presence of orange and yellow day lilies. I dressed up this bright beauty with a few effects in Topaz Studio 2 for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and new week ahead!

Sunset light over Elphin and the Assynt mountains.

There was a bit of jiggery-pokery to dramatise the sunset colours - but not as much as you would think!

... it's what I imagine I see through the window in -35 celsius. The camera settings are of the sunset.

These bright blooms were photographed at a local park this fall. I couldn't help but add an impressionism filter which enhanced the colours for Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day and week ahead!

With temperatures around Alaska ranging from twenty to fifty below zero, the snowshoe hares are struggling to stay warm. I wonder if they curl up and think of summer, and all of the lovely greens that they love to munch on. If so - my image depicts what I think they might be dreaming of. HSS!

The place is real and so are the hues in the shadows across the ice which became more defined as I shifted color tones through the trees.

Rippled photo of a hallway where I thought I saw something during a night terror type of dream state.

The Ceremonial start of The Iditarod Sled Dog Race will kick off in Anchorage at 10:00 AM on March 4th this year. The following day the restart will take place in Willow Alaska. The “restart” is considered to be the true start of the race, with mushers racing off into the surrounding wilderness and heading for Nome.

This year has the smallest number of mushers ever entered in the race. There are only 33 competitors, and has none of the well known names we have followed over the years. Notably absent this year are: Mitch and Dallas Seavey, Jeff King, and Martin Buser – just to name a few. In 2008 we had 96 mushers take on the grueling 1,000 mile run to Nome – but citing the cost of feed, fuel, and supplies - fewer mushers can afford to enter the race. Plus there is a diminishing interest in the race and very few corporate sponsors willing to participate.

Gone are the good old days when the “race” was essentially a three-week camping trip through the wilderness among friends. The inaugural Iditarod in 1973 took 20 days for the winner, (Dick Wilmarth) to arrive in Nome. Now, the fastest mushers arrive under the Burled Arch on Front Street in mere eight or nine days. It’s sad – but I never thought I would see Alaska’s Iditarod Race come to an end.
