Mid-April aurora over Fairbanks, a few years back. It's snowing pretty hard here at the moment. This feels like a good day to look back at better skies.

Another delightful #NoKings protest for the (very small) #Fairbanks #Alaska Frog Brigade.

I especially enjoy convincing protest dogs that the giant frogs are friends who will pet them, but waving at wide-eyed children is a close second.
