Oh, hey, Alaska. The wind died down today. #AlaskaSky 🤩☀️🌊

Oh, hey, Alaska. #AlaskaSky Some new territory today out on Lake Clark.

Oh, hey, Alaska. #AlaskaSky ☀️🏔️🤩 Fun afternoon in the Chugach.

Oh, hey, Alaska. This weather blows, but there’s no pollen right now and I did just spot this from the couch. 🤩🌈

Oh, hey, Alaska (a reminder from last week that things can be nice, because today is grosssss). My elderly pal and his favorite friend. 🤩🏔️🐕☀️

ANC, lights are out. 🤩 #AlaskaSky

My husband took pictures of the eclipse at intervals from our deck and 🤩. It was negative double digits at the house so he took the camera battery in with him each time, bless. 😂 #AlaskaSky No BlueSky but he does neat, tiny slime mold and mushroom photos at his Instagram @mushroomsofAlaska

Oh, hey, Alaska. #AlaskaSky 🏔️☀️🥶

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩❄️🚴‍♀️☀️ #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. #AlaskaSky 🤩❄️☀️

Checked in on a vacationing friend’s house and texted the sibling/spouse chat a pic of a moose in her new neighbor’s yard that, upon zoom, revealed some more things about said neighbor. The ensuing discussion may have revealed a few things about my family, as well.

The dog has the right idea today. So, so gross out. Sound on for full disgusting pelting January rain effect. 🫠 #AlaskaSky

I was out snowshoeing trails for the dog in our little neighborhood park and heard this news not from the principal’s messages but from the exultant screams of a child inside their house through their closed windows 100 ft. away.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Oh, hey, Alaska: continued beachy brrrrrr edition. #AlaskaSky 🤩🧊🚴‍♀️❤️

So it’s still terrible outside but also outside feels like a gift sometimes? Confusing at best. #AlaskaSky 🤩🥶🧊🚴‍♀️

Good AK outside temps for a 500° F oven today. And a 350° one. #AlaskaSky

Another break from pretty Alaska pics to tell you that these sesame scallion buns were shockingly easy to make and pair nicely, in true Alaska style, with Costco prawn hacao and Costco edamame in shell. Gift link: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1027...

Oh, hey, Alaska (Christmas Eve beach bike edition). 🥶🚴☀️🐕🏔️🤩 #AlaskaSky High single digits heat wave felt like a gift today.

Oh, hey, Alaska (solstice skate edition). #AlaskaSky 🤩🧊🏔️🥶☀️⛸️

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩🥶 #AlaskaSky A few pretty days in Anchorage last weekend even with the wind.

A break from pretty AK pictures to tell you that you should make this absolutely gorgeous cranberry-pecan bread, one of my winter favorites. Trust me that when you cut into it it’ s even more lovely. #AlaskaSky smittenkitchen.com/2021/11/cran...

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩 The dog appreciates the symmetry of sunrise/sunset outings on the same day; his person wishes said outings were more than 6 hours apart. #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩🚴‍♀️🧊🌲🐕❄️🗻 #AlaskaSky People love to hate on Anchorage, but I spent about 6 hours outside today, and…I’m just saying you could do a lot worse.

Well, yikes, that’s certainly *a* way to wake up. Zero stars, the earth can go back to sleep now.

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩🧊☀️⛸️ #AlaskaSky The wild ice season is ephemeral and I’m so grateful to get even one afternoon at skate church.

Oh, hey, Alaska. ☀️🧊🏔️⛸️🚴‍♀️❄️🤩 #AlaskaSky

Go outside, ANC! #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩🏔️

Oh, hey, Alaska. #AlaskaSky 🤩🍂🦢

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩🫎🍂 #AlaskaSky Either 7 or 11 moose in 4 miles today, depending on if you think we saw two groups of 4 or one that moved.

Lights again, Anchorage. ❤️ Who wants to sign my petition to grant me or other responsible parties a killswitch for my neighbor’s dumb 24/7 outdoor lights? #AlaskaSky

No for real GO OUTSIDE #AlaskaSky

Hey, Anchorage, go outside. Holler when it’s raging, ok? #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska (backyard ungulate boys’ club edition). Pleased to report that the one trying to end his visit wallowing in my raspberries follows clear verbal directions. #AlaskaSky ❤️🫎🤩

Oh, hey, Alaska. ❤️🤩🌊#AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. Everything is hard but some things are still beautiful. Today a Dall sheep had the zoomies 50 ft. in front of me on a trail. ❤️ #AlaskaSky
