Wintry mix: when someone high above defrosts their freezer. But, who? #nature #Alaska #kenai #womenwritingthewest #booksky

Do you think my 2008 watercolor "Golden Twilight" looks like fictional Ivy's "Popsicles?" #nature #alaskawomenwriters #booksky #writerscommunity #womenwritingthewest #gayelarane

Ivy confides in Auntie Mabel. Why does she need an attorney? #gayelarane #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity #womenwritingthewest #booksky

Unlike fictional Ivy, young eagles make my spirit soar. #nature #kenai #photography #booksky #alaskawomenwriters #womenwritingthewest

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Like fictional Ivy, nature renews my soul. #nature #Alaska #photography #booksky #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity

I wept in 2021. Now I weep again. #Alaska #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity #gayelarane #booksky

As soon as the polling hit last week showing Mary Peltola +5 the NRSC did this. Every accusation is a projection. Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan the multimillionaire is living the high life off campaign money. #akelect

I have a real life neighbor who gave us chocolate frosted cream puffs for Easter ❤

7:00AM. Falling snow covers break-up mess. #writerscommunity #nature #photography #Alaska #gayelarane

I live in Alaska. I never complain about the light. #nature #booksky #alaskawomenwriters #womenwritingthewest #writerscommunity

Rising possibilities #nature #Alaska #photography #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity

"We the people..."

This happens in Kenai, not just in fictional Black Spruce Cove, Alaska. #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity #womenwritingthewest #booksky #Alaska #kenai

Cold, yes, but so beautiful.

It's warming in fictional Black Spruce Cove but freezing in Kenai. #Alaska #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity #womenwritingthewest #booksky

Could this be Brownie?

It's damn cold and feels colder.

Who is Ivy Phelonsen and why is she such a mess? #Alaska #alaskawomenwriters #writerscommunity #nature #booksky #photography

A ray of hope pierces the darkness. #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai #alaskawomenwriters

A peaceful ending to my day. #nature #photography #kenai #Alaska #alaskawomenwriters

Good night, Kenai. #nature #photography #Alaska #alaskawomenwriters

Even a small slit of light gives hope to a dark world. How will you bring a little hope to your world?

Happy Valentine's Day 💗

This morning nature gave me a gorgeous gift. #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai #alaskawomenwriters

Always wait for Mom at the stop sign. #nature #Alaska #kenai #photography

Celebrating American Heart Month.

In the midst of chaos, nature offered a moment of peace.

Just a message from all higher beings: "Here's a little reward for making the world a better place today. Now, what will you do tomorrow? "

A final blink from the sun. #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai #alaskawomenwriters

9:25 AM: Morning light breaks through the darkness. #nature #photography #alaskawomenwriters #gayelarane #kenai #Alaska

One, two, three...??? #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai #alaskawomenwriters

Good morning???

As temperatures drop, the spirits rise. #nature #Alaska #photography #kenai #gayelarane #alaskawomenwriters

4:05 PM. Glorious sunset. #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai

Good morning. It's a little chilly in Kenai.

May 2026 glow with love and peace.

I'm sorry I laughed when they said, "it's a banana tree!"

Good morning. What will you do with your 60-plus seconds of light today? #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai #alaskawomenwriters

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

On solstice eve winter spirits rise for a final ghostly dance. Then the light grows longer once again.

Good morning. #gayelarane #nature #photography #Alaska #kenai

Great performance by the Kenai Senior Center's Writers Group. The original, round-robin Christmas story was interesting, clever, and well presented. I loved it. #kenai #Alaska #kenaiseniorcenter
