My favorite neighborhood landmark:

A walk to the ol' Beaver Pond

The air was so clear that the Alaska Range was visible (about 100 miles):

Solar resource studies have indicted that we get our greatest solar resource at this time of year, beating even the summer with its longer daylight ours. This is due to clearer air, higher conversion efficiency in semiconductor-based photovoltaic cells at cooler temperatures, and reflection off the snow.

when compared against my snow-collecting days. My guess is that it's more popular with recreationists now that the main connecting trail has been developed into a full-on driveable road.

And we saw a PUPPY!

Happy Equinox!

For the next six months, we will beat you Lower 48ers for daylight hours!
