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? "

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
