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

Last night Terry Turner and the youth group from First Baptist Church, Soldotna, helped decorate our halls (Vintage Pointe Manor) for Christmas. My job along with other residents was to drink cocoa, eat cookies, and fully appreciate ❣

Whew!!! Difficult, but the tree is up.

Reno waves "goodbye"

Anchorage airport heading to Kenai. Now we know we're home.

Portland is just fine. Beginning of fall colors. End of visit. #nature #photography #writerscommunity

Fascism doesn’t just thrive on hate—it also feeds on denial, writes @williamcson.bsky.social in his “Another way out” column. As institutions crumble & history is rewritten, the refusal to confront reality becomes one of the most dangerous political acts of all.

Portland, Oregon. I honestly don't understand why people are lying about this beautiful and welcoming city. We are having a wonderful time.

One one documented arrest--and it was a MAGA woman pointing a gun at protesters.

No, we are NOT the same.

A big question now is: why isn't FEMA in western Alaska? Because they have not been deployed. Gov. Dunleavy has requested a federal disaster declaration, and Alaska is waiting to hear back. In the meantime, it's all local, tribal and state led relief efforts. alaskabeacon.com/2025/10/17/m...

12:30PM Portland

11:30 AM: Portland across from our resort.

The Kenai Bluff Restoration Project is done!
