Took some photos in Eagle River and in Anchorage, today. It was another clear and cold day - the eagle shots were taken in -24F weather! I stayed in my car while shooting these marvelous raptors - not brave enough to venture outside in that bone-chilling cold air! All of the bird shots were taken at or near the VFW lodge in Eagle River.
The next 10 shots were taken on the grounds of the ZJ Lousaac Public Library in mid-town Anchorage. The temp was significantly warmer there - a mere -3F! The structure shown with icicles is actually a fountain that flows during the spring and summer. I guess they sometimes run it in winter, too - as evidenced by the icicles!

These last two photos were taken at one of my favorite places to shop - Title Wave Books in Anchorage. This is a locally-run used book store that also carries new books, music, toys, games, puzzles, stationery, etc, etc, etc. There is also an internet cafe' in the adjoining coffee shop. I stop in every three or four months and browse their Christianity section. Today I picked up "Unchartered" by Angela Elwell Hunt and "Christ the Lord ~ Out of Egypt" by Anne Rice.
