If You Musk
Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]
Sleepy Time
A polar bear at the Alaska Zoo enjoys a peaceful springtime nap in the sun.
Books By Candlelight
My collection of leather-bound classics, lit by candlelight. Seeing the light reflecting off the gold leaf really shows the beauty that can go into a book when it isn’t just a mass-market paperback novel.
Otter Love
Two otters at the Anchorage Zoo enjoy some quality time together in the sun.
Vigilance
I haven’t posted a photo of Chichi for a bit, so here is one of the ol’ man himself. Whenever he isn’t actually in my bedroom with me you can find him in his usual spot in front of the upstairs patio window, gazing out upon the world (and occasionally barking at the pesky people who dare [...]

The tetra are a very nice community fish, almost large enough to be mistaken for an Angel Fish, for people who might not be all that familiar with different species. The benefit of [...]

We have this peculiar weather condition here in Alaska that I always end up calling “frozen fog”. I’m sure it isn’t unique to Alaska, but this is the first place I’ve ever lived where I’ve experienced it. Now I’m not sure the exact scientific name. My mom calls is “hoarfrost”. I’ve heard others here refer [...]
Too Cold To Snow?
“It’s too cold to snow.“ Those are words I’ve used countless times. On certain days and at certain temperatures, that phrase is an undeniable truth — in my humble opinion. Scientifically speaking though there is no such thing as “too cold to snow”. The details don’t interest me, to be honest. I’m no scientist or [...]
Last Days Of Summer
Took this photo the day I was out taking the pictures for my brothers yearbook photo. This is a small lake just off Campbell Airstrip Rd., here in Anchorage. This is only about two miles from my house as a matter of fact, near a system of walking trails that constantly get shut down due [...]
