Avlanche Track

There was substantial snow along the avalanche track not far from the falls. This is the first time I've seen it here, though the lack of tall trees suggests it happens periodically.

Mud Sign

I think the holes and such in the mud are due to Caddisfly larvae, but I'm not positive.

Swan Lake Birds

Filed under: kids and nature, photojournal, snow — matt goff @ 11:32 pm

Connor and Rowan dug out a snow cave in a pile of snow. Connor did most of it, but Rowan helped a little and they both had fun playing in it.

Waves off of Old Sitka

The wind was really churnning up the waves off of Old Sitka.

Old Sitka Boat Ramp

The waves were splashing over the boat ramp float, resulting a layer of slushy salt water ice.
