We said goodbye to Marais this week. It was sad to say goodbye but she
wasn't herself anymore and we know we made the right choice. This picture
was taken after Walt and I took her cross-country skiing-- she could grow
quite an ice beard! We're left with lots of pictures (this is one of our
faves!) and even more memories of all the adventures we shared together in
the last 15.5 years!

unphotographable
there's a website I found years ago called "unphotographable" where
you can write in and describe the picture/feelings you just couldn't
capture with a camera. I had my own moment tonight, contorted on the
floor in front of my back door, peering over my peaceful, snowy
backyard at the moon... It was all blue and white, except for the
moon.
lunar eclipse
snapped a few shots from my dining room tonight. Not quite perfect
conditions (including my lack of proper tripod, cold weather, the
orange lights of the elementary school behind my house and the angle--
straight up!) but not a bad shot anyway. About 10 minutes before the
"peak" some clouds rolled in and that was it...

tinsel tree + sun
Mom sent me a package of Christmas goodies including this glass
nativity set. It goes PERFECT under my tinsel tree! I usually post
pictures of it with the lights on (love the pink lights!) but it's on
a timer and the sun was hitting it just right today... I love how the
tinsel looks a little tarnished (though a lot of this glow is the
orange-y winter sun).
Finally decided on a light fixture!
Finally decided on a light fixture!, originally uploaded by aimos325.
And installed it today! I took down the old one almost a year ago... whoops! It looks awesome with my smooth ceiling and I even splurged on dimmable, instant-on CFL's.

reflected sunset
A few times a year the sun is at the perfect angle to reflect the
sunset off the Chevron Building right into my office! This was taken
at 3:30 and it was dark by 4.
beautiful sunrise
The sunrises have been beautiful lately... It's been crystal clear
(and cold!). This was taken at 10:30 am.

winter wonderland
cannot get enough of this snow! It's so gorgeous around here! This
is why I love Alaska in the winter! The warm glow of the low sun, the
winter skies, the snow lightly settled in the trees... I'm heading
outside!

frosty walk
It's been so gorgeously frosty around here! Today I went for a walk
down to Lake Hood with Jeremiah-- it was so pretty!
sun dog
Took this picture of a sun dog at work. I like how the sun perfectly
blocks the sun. I heard you could see the other side of the sun dog
from the other windows but I didn't go look.

brrr!
getting cold around these parts! (PS that "door ajar" light is a side
effect of my car's electrical issue...)
