Spring in Alaska

Spring in Alaska means...sogginess. And a spur-of-the-moment hike (I was wearing Chucks) where JJ Tranquilla drags me and my brother-in-law across the Eklutna flats, which really should have been called the Eklutna swap. Really amazingly beautiful though.

Winter solstice, darkest day of the year, even darker way up north...

Aces at the Boys & Girls Club

The Aces boys shared their time and basketball and lunch-making talents with some of the cool kids at the Anchorage Boys & Girls Club. Mark Guggenberger is a great goalie and knows his way around the court!

Hibernating Arctic Ground Squirrels

Postdoctoral fellow Cory Williams holds a hibernating arctic ground squirrel in a research lab in the Integrated Sciences Building at the University of Alaska Anchorage Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012. Williams is working with professor Loren Buck and student Brady Salli to study the circadian rhythms and chronobiology of the animals to determine their sensitivity to extended periods of light and dark and how they know when to hibernate. Ultimately, they hope to correlate the research to human behavior.
