Meltdown . . . Break up . . . the nice way . . .

The moose are out in force these days . . . they wander out of the park areas looking for things to munch on . . . here are four in a construction lot just south of mid-town.












and a fifth that I couldn't fit in the previous picture . . . but you can see the hotel in the background.












Had to put this one in . . . one of those shots























Part of my backyard . . Campbell Creek . . . still some ice bridges across the creek, but a lot more is open now . . . temps are creeping up . . . mostly in the 30's this week . . .



The fishing hole is still frozen over, but it is getting a little squishy out there . . . this was 8pm the long sun shadows in the trees . . .







Not seeing any salmon in the stream yet . . . a few months away . . .








Definite moose tracks about . . . though more of this is people than moose . . .

Guess I need my tripod . . . couldn't hold still long enough to get a decent shot of last nights moon.

These just don't do it justice . . . it was very bright, didn't look all that close . . . but it was very clear.
















Here is Anchorage under that bright moon . . .
Flattop is a hill just east of Anchorage in the Chugach State Park . . . I was on the hill to check out the moon . . . and caught a couple pics of the Anchorage bowl while I was up there.
