The beautiful Kenai River as viewed from the Kenai Peninsula College campus. All thawed out and fishing will commence before too long. #Alaska #SpringInAlaska #KenaiRiverAlaska

We had some visitors yesterday. Fine feathered friends, I'd say, and very loud! #Alaska #BirdsOfAlaska #SandHillCranes #SpringInAlaska

My garage looks like the start of a Pride Parade with all of our flags and such hanging out to dry after the unfortunate pipe bursting yesterday. #Alaska #PrideFlags #SpringInAlaska

It got up to 62 degrees today in my little part of Alaska! I don't think that has ever happened in late April since I've lived here. Folks were on the beach in swimsuits (not me!) and the mountains/volcano were just GORGEOUS! #Alaska #MtRedoubt #SpringInAlaska #AlaskaHeatWave

This lovely Sandhill crane couple decided to land in our backyard early this morning and proceed to "talk" incessantly and loudly to wake us and scare me half to death. Last night we had ducks in the backyard, but I didn't get photos. #Alaska #BirdsOfAlaska #SpringInAlaska

And some more taken during my stay in Homer. #Alaska #HomerAlaska #HomerSpit #SpringInAlaska
