So far we have had a pretty good winter. It's been early and cold. Looking back through years past it seems winter has been starting in early December, but this year it got good in early November. Anyway, these are pictures from the last few weeks that show winter.
The Abercrombie pictures are from a walk I took with Nora. We walked in the new snow across the lake.
The eagle is from yesterday. Every day on my drive to go skiing I've been seeing bears fishing for spawning silvers at the outlet to Buskin Lake. All sorts of cars and people taking photos of them - and it must be said the bears look amazing with all the ice in their fur. But I've just been driving past and not taking 'bear in the distance' photos (OK I did take one - posted below). And then 4 days ago I watched a sow with her cubs swat at an eagle trying to take her fish. That was very cool - so for the last couple of days I took my telephoto lens along on the ride hoping for bear photos. And of course I have not seen a bear since! Yesterday all I saw was this eagle in a tree.

| Bode up close in the telephoto lens - no bears! |
