November & December 2005 - Winter Pictures

30 November - 1 December. We had hoar frost and the trees became wrapped in ice. Everything was spectacularly beautiful. I've got several great pictures of it. It's not like this all winter here. It lasts for a short time and then the temperature warms up a bit and the ice is gone. But it is certainly beautiful while it lasts. It's so beautiful that it looks fake. Or that Hallmark brought one of those Christmas cards to life in front of my eyes. Or that Disneyland created the trees in front of me.



This picture was taken in Kenai. I went to our Kenai office on 1 December and it was a bit more sunny than Anchorage that day, and the iced trees look great with a little sun on them.



27 November .... There's a moose and her calf who visit the neighbor's yard frequently because they like to eat their bushes. I came home from grocery shopping on a Sunday morning, and they were having brunch. These are the pictures.
