Happy New Year! We enjoyed a white Christmas in Anchorage, despite a very late start to the winter season. For a while, I was afraid the "white" in our Christmas would be composed entirely of hoarfrost, but the snow finally came to stay and is building up slowly. We can finally use our new X-Country skis at the local parks, although it's not quite deep enough yet for the trails to be well-groomed. I blame it on global warming.......

The fruit tree in our front yard is apparently a great Moose-Magnet, and we had a furry visitor again today. This time, we were able to grab the good camera and get some better shots of him -- a young bull this time. The photo here links to our web album which has some additional shots of the little cutie!
