Sunny Fall

While Cody headed back to work after taking a few days off while his sister was in town, Wilson and I enjoyed a few beautifully sunny fall days here in AK. We hit a couple trails (of course, what else would be do?!). Enjoy a few pictures below...

Headed out on the Turnagain Arm Trail from Potter

Down the trail with Sleeping Lady in the background

Pensive Wilson

Beautiful fall colors!

One of my very favorites

Loving these blue skies!

And as we neared the trailhead, a train rolled by

And yesterday, Wilson and I headed to the Hillside to catch our a sunny, but steeper trail. It was equally as rewarding:

View of the mountain, some 200 miles away but still visible

a couple lady mooses

I was so proud to spot this fellow, but little did I know, I'd just missed a duel in prime rutting season. darn.

Downtown Anchorage

Patiently waiting for me as I took yet another break on the steep climb

So happy to reach the 'peak' and roll in the snow

Climbing the ridge on what I believe is Little O'Malley peak....?

Another view

Sweaty but happy, nestled in between Sleeping Lady and Mt McKinley

Wilson's artsy fartsy pic of the day

I enjoyed these cloud formations, and of course the view

Yet again

How nice it has been to have a couple clear, dry days! The temperatures are dropping, however. It was only 25degrees this morning and created a significant frost delay on the course. As if the cool temps weren't enough, our daylight is weaning as well. Our sunrise is at about 8:30am and a (shockingly early!) sunset of 6:55pm (I almost wish I hadn't looked that up). I'm determined to keep a positive attitude this winter, to include more Vitamin D and sunny weather, I hope.
