I know, I was just trying to be funny. :oops:

Nope, I just used my camera.

:wink:

The lake shot was around the first of March. Breakup was well under way on the lake but a heavy frost overnight had made for some nice white accents. I was more than pleased that the color of the lake was captured.

I love old cabins, boats and natures unique colors.

They stop by here every year in late September. We always look forward to their visit.

This pair of Trumpeter Swans are resting here on their way south.

[quote=Kindavacant]Thanks for the updated shot on the Eagles. Both are impressive shots but I'm more interested in the story behind it. Okay it was a food fight obviously, but on the original photo the food was gone. Did the Eagle on the left tick off the Eagle on the right?

While the two eagles pictured are fighting, a third eagle grabbed what was left of the carcass and flew away. If the shot had been wider you could have seen that happening. The "food fight" actually lasted about ten minutes and involved six or seven birds. As to what the attitude of one bird toward the other is, I have no idea. Eagles fight over food all the time. They steal from other birds and each other. It's what they do.

The food fight shot is on the Anchor River, about 9 miles from here.

The eagles in ice shot was taken from the Homer Spit on the Kachemak Bay side.

The Moose pics were from around our home.

Thanks for your interest.

Thank You very much.

Can't wait to see those!!! What time does the sun set in winter?
:wink: :lol: :lol:[/quote]

I am located in Anchor Point, Alaska which is the farthest west you can drive a car to in N. America. Sunrise, this time of the year, is 9:26 AM and sunset is 6:12 PM. On our shortest day sunrise is 10:04 AM and sunset is 4:03 PM. The longest day is from 4:46 AM till 11:26 PM. But...dusk and dawn hours are long due to the shallow angle of the sun.That means that in winter you can add about an hour or so usable light to morning and evening, in summer twilight is about as dark as it gets. All of this gets more extreem as you get further north.

THANK YOU !!

I agree about the wires except that Alaska has problems when it comes to buried lines. Most of the state is Muskeg or Tundra. Tundra is permafrost land which presents problems. Muskeg is the native word for swamp. :-) In both cases the land moves with the seasons. We personally don't have a problem here because we are "off grid". We make our own power so our lines are short and are buried.

Are those Bald Eagles you are monitoring and do they nest down there in winter? Most of ours stay for the winter and nest in early spring.

Thanks for your comments and info.

Thank You.

:D

Thanks. I think I like your crop best of all those suggested.

It is a sunset taken from my front porch. We get some world class sunsets here in winter.

Seems like outhouses have long been the butt end of many practical jokes, pun intended.
