From The Driveway

Just the lights on the cat run and our lighted wreath, reflected in the window of my car on the lower right. I put the wall-hanging tree in the cat run yesterday when I changed the hay on the ground.

Dawn Over Kachemak Bay

A sunrise for a change. Taken yesterday morning from the usual location: the southeast side of the airport where I work.

I have dozens of pictures taken from this spot. Every day I think, "I have enough pictures of sunset over the Inlet. I won't take my camera to work today." But I do, and I end taking pictures, trying to capture what doesn't seem to translate well on film.

Daybreak is more problematic. From my vantage point, there are too many man-made obstruction to make for a picturesque photo. But this time of year, the sun has drifted far enough south so the obstruction are minimal.

Anyway, the photo is cross-posted from my daily-life blog just because I really like how it turned out.

November Sunset

A subdued winter sunset looking southwest from Homer. The setting sun is actually lighting up the underside of a high overcast layer. The snow of two weeks ago has melted but more will be along soon.

Winter Comes to Kachemak Bay

I took this yesterday on my way to work. This is the scenic pull-off at the top of Baycrest Hill before going down into town and this vantage point has figured in several of my photos. So that is why you probably recognize it.

Snow

Looking down our driveway to the woods across the way. A foot of fluffy snow fell overnight, transforming the landscape.

Dawn

One nice thing about this time of year is that daybreak happens at a time when we can all enjoy it.

The rising sun tints the clouds over Cook Inlet.

Quiet Lake

Beluga Lake is quiet as the seaplane season draws to a close. Fresh snow highlights the mountains across the bay though the snow that fell at sealevel has melted.
