Here are some thoughts and sights I noted as we toured Alaska last spring. As the national news discussed the effects of heavy snow upon your roof in the recent snow storms in the midwest, I was reminded that I never shared these observations.
I was musing on how the winter weather had left its effects upon the landscape.
Bent birch
Some of those things, like Spanish Moss in the trees, I never imagined I'd find in Alaska!
Uprooted trees
Snow damaged roofs
Mountain views
Sprinkles of rain. But no rainbow yet
Many lakes large and small
Swampy, marsh areas
Spanish moss in trees
Genuine FLOCKING in trees!
Imagine when it melts!
Stop sign above!
The only cleared area out of sight of the road (where I could pee) on one drive we made!
I would not want to live in that much dark and snow! It was gorgeous and wild, though!

Yep, wonderful place to visit, but I couldn't handle the winters - or the flies and mosquitoes in the early summer.
