September & October 2008
Being back in Alaska is so refreshing! We've been
working a lot and getting used to the new schedule, but work is that
much easier when you love where your living. I feel so blessed
every time I look out the window at my hospital and see the alpine glow
on the mountains, or the snow falling in October. I don't
know a better hospital with a better view!
Snow came early this year in October, and we are not
complaining! I'd rather the temperature be 20 or 30 than 70 or 80.
We have been spending our spare time photographing local moose. In all
the years we lived in Anchorage in the past, we never knew about the
local moose that put on quite a show during the rut. Here
are just a few of the pictures we've captured... |

Being in the midst of moose is pretty awesome. We have
a decent lens so we aren't as close as it looks, but close enough. |

This is a dandy bull; we waited for at least an hour
hoping he would stand up, but never did. I love the way we
captured the white of his eye. |

|
 
This bull got carried away with thrashing in the
brush. Definitely in the rut. |
|
|
|
 
This is one tough bull. We saw him charge a
photographer earlier in the day, and then watched as chased numerous
bulls off as well. |

A few other bulls we found. The hint of winter with a dash of
snow.

Winter is definitely in the air! Photographing was
hard with the falling snow, but made the pictures unique. This
bull seemed to be plumb worn out from the rutting activity. |
 
Some mating activity! |
|
|
|
And...winter is here to stay I think.

Just hanging out with moose. The dogs are quiet as
long as the moose aren't running. |
