Sunsets &

The other night I was driving home from work at 11 pm- ish in the middle of a rainstorm and sunset. I cant remember why I had my camera in the car but as luck would have it but I just had to stop and take these. we have had a bunch of interesting weather lately, with clouds and rain and smoke. but these 2 just caught my eye. Our sunsets just cover the whole sky, not just part of it. So I say sunsets rock in Fairbanks.

Then these is the flowers that i have outside my door, $20.00 will get you as basket from Fred's about 3 weeks ago anyway. so i actually managed to water them every night and with some of the rain we had they are just doing nicely. i have almost decided that they were worth buying, rather than buying seeds and planting my own and not having flowers till later. or forgetting to water them. I wouldn't have bought them if i didn't have my house for sale. and they look better in real than they do photographed.

Sunsets Fairbanks style

 i was coming home at midnight tonight when i saw this cool sunset.   since sunsets seem to last a while i got home and grabbed the camera and went for a walk.
 so i say to people in Santorini who  think they have sunsets.  come to Fairbanks .   this was out the window

 sunrise is 2 hours away.

Sunny Fairbanks

Winter is thinking about being over , ...  
 it  was a wonderful sunny day today, there is still sun in the sky when i go home from work and it' s 20 ( -7, -8 )  there is light in the sky when i get up.
 the lead dogs from the Yukon quest are due in tomorrow looking to break records.

 if this weather continues I will get the camera out and show people what a real sunset looks  like. Pink rather than Orange, that hangs around for a while. we gain 7 minutes of daylight a day
( we loose this amount in the Fall)
 daylight comes.
