Growing up in Hawaii, I didn’t learn to identify

Growing up in Hawaii, I didn’t learn to identify most of the traditional birds from the mainland—now living in Alaska, I get to discover new species on practically every outing. This pair of Northern Shovelers were paddling around on a gloomy Saturday morning when we pulled over on the side of the Glenn Highway. This time of year is one of my absolute favorites as more animals are literally flocking to the region 🦆🌱

Stuck in quarantine and missing out on beach days?? Luckily for you I have been using this time to get some much needed editing done... including drone footage of a totally dreamy Alaskan beach at sunset. Link in bio 🌅

April in Alaska means we still have snow on the ground... that and Covid-19 have me jonesing for summer BAD. Link in bio for our latest YouTube of epic fourwheeling through the Alaskan wilderness ✨

Day dreaming about salmon fishing under the midnight sun... [almost] ready for summer to return!

I took this picture during breakup (spring, for non-Alaskans) of 2018 when I first got my DSLR and started all this social media stuff. The pure excitement that came from waiting for the swans to return to Alaska, then finding this perfect pair in a perfect spot for me to shoot... that’s all part of why I keep at this. The wildlife of Alaska is my number one photographic pursuit that keeps me heading outdoors no matter the season.

Don’t know if you’ve heard, but winter in Alas

Don’t know if you’ve heard, but winter in Alaska has [mostly] been EXTRA cold this year! We had a cold spell through south central Alaska with temps in the negatives (below 0° F) for over two weeks 😳 One of the best ways we found to warm up in the great outdoors was cross-country skiing 🎿 In this series, we checked out Hold Mint trail in the Hatcher Pass area—the trail was a little narrow for newbies like us (makes slowing down very hard!) but you can’t beat the views and solitude. Trying to take advantage of every last moment of winter ❄️💕

Cotton candy skies against endless white blankets

Cotton candy skies against endless white blankets of snow... winter in Alaska is a truly magical experience. Though I have friends adversely affected by the long periods of darkness, I’ve been fortunate to make it into my third winter now without issue. The hardest part for me is SLEEP! As in too much sleep 🤣 I have always been a “professional” when it comes to falling asleep the moment my head hits the pillow, and while our normal bedtime in summer is around 10:30, I find myself struggling to stay awake past 9PM all winter long 🙈 As February creeps by, I find myself thinking more and more of summer adventures (and late nights!) in this land of the midnight sun ☀️❄️

The days are getting longer as winter clings on here in Alaska 🏔❄️ ✨

It’s been a long time since I have been active on social media... a recent promotion at my real life job has kept me busier and more stressed out than ever before. Only recently have I finally felt like I was getting the hang of it and had the energy to actually open my laptop when I get home at night, so I’m hoping to get back into editing the many photos left raw on my SD cards. Gotta get them cleared out before summer arrives in Alaska!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas 🌲❄️💕

We’ve been watching the chickadees, nuthatches, and the occasional woodpecker, as they scoop sunflower seeds from the feeder outside our window. Observing this particular nuthatch one day, I thought he was storing seeds away for winter in this piece of driftwood on our porch. After some research, it turns out nuthatches actually wedge their seeds into pieces of bark and then hammer them open to eat! Who knew 🤷🏼‍♀️✨

Sunset from the Kenai Peninsula is a two-fold experience... you get to experience the whole beach/sun- hanging-over-the-water vibe, then witness as it dips behind jagged volcanic peaks. Only in Alaska ✨

Biked 13 miles round trip on the Trail of Blue Ice

Biked 13 miles round trip on the Trail of Blue Ice in Portage Valley today—can’t believe how many times we’ve passed this trail without stopping before! Super level the whole way and the.views.were.INCREDIBLE. We saw three moose, over a dozen bald eagles, and even some salmon that were still hanging on 🙈 Check out my stories for more pics ✨
