Apologies for the long lapse in posting. It has been an exhausting winter, and it's been slow to end. But spring is springing at last! The willows are putting out their fluffy little catkins, which is usually the sign of true warm weather. Migratory birds arrive when it's still cold!
The Isberg Trail is now pretty much snow-free.
Do you think they are comfy? I sure hope they are comfy.
Yesterday we decided to walk part of the Equinox Trail, on the side of Ester Dome.
Selfie!
Did I succeed in making this twig in front of a trickle of rainwater look like a log in front of a waterfall?
Here we are at the bottom of the infamous Chute. The race course has you run down it. I have done the race 3 times and each time *walked* down it, very carefully!
My fuzzy things on the couch!
And what have we here?
Fairy slippers, just appeared this morning!
Moseying up to the ridge.
There is a steep bit here, too. The Isberg Chute!

Great to have you back šHappy that spring is finally springing - it has been here as well & we've been enjoying cooler weather too! Cricket & Ravenšš look happy to be out on the trails - looks dry too -no mud.
The Chute looks like a challenging part of the marathon- I've done my share of races, but not on a steep trail! Good on youš¤
Happy AK spring to you and the household. Be safe and healthy.
Hello and sooo very wonderful to see and read your May posting, have been concerned. Yes, the Interior winter was hard, my daughter and family live up there; even though she spent ten years as a kid in the eastern Interior, this last Fairbanks winter was way more than tough.
Your words and photos are pleasures to go through, and the dogs…ahh. My sweet 12 year old Belgian Malinois just passed away unexpectedly. What heartbreak. And love. Enjoy your warming days.
I am so sorry for your loss. It's the hardest part of the best thing.
Hope your summer is not too hot! Hugs to your fuzzies!
Thank you, you do as well!
