Alaska by Land

With only a few days to go before the start of a new school year, Heather has been pulling some long nights. I believe the phrase is "burning both ends of the candle." Well, in her place, I'm posting a few pictures of her time in Alaska after I had to return home for work. When she gets a few minutes, she will add more details about this trip, but until then ...

There's some great photos there! I especially love the bear laying on his tummy with his arms gathered in front of him, the the tongue hanging out really makes it. Haha. The 40 below is also hilarious!
