Around Town

Friday's are so hard for me to stay awake sometimes. Working the night shift all week, I try to stay awake all day Friday so I can at least be on the same sleeping schedule as my husband on the weekends. So lucky for me it was such a gorgeous day today that I drove around town. Not only to try to stay awake but to take some pictures and be able to remind myself that even tho I dislike winter and cold, that with the suffering brings beauty :) We don't get very many sunny days here in the Anchorage bowl and even though it was 12 degrees today, -1 while I was work last night. It's nice to get out and finally see some sun and get some vitamin D.

Looking at Downtown Anchorage from the Coastal Trail park
I think my favorite thing to take pictures of here in Alaska is during the winter time when the trees are covered in frost, usually on super cold days you find every tree looks like this, sometimes on the heavier ice fog days the trees are so heavy with frost they lean over so far some of them break in half or start losing a lot of their branches.
