Once more at Lake Creek

First Snow

This is things a bit out of order...this is the yurt in the first snowfall near the end of September.

Fun on ice

Games at Lake Creek- Riddick was not comfortable with the slipping, he closed his eyes and hoped it went away.
Bill trying to talk Riddick into standing up.
There was a pair of swans that nested down at the lake this summer, here I am checking out their nest.
More photos of the nest, I found bits of eggshell too. Hope they come back next year.

undersea creatures

The first place to freeze were the beaver-dammed lakes down at lake creek just below the yurt. It made for a fun place to play around,

The morning routine

Four dogs and the yurt. This is a good example of a big part of the morning routine.

Bench lake from above

Mid-October, Bill and Sherrie hiked up and around following a ridgeline on the Chugach side of the yurt, this photo is a view up Gravel Creek.
Sherrie's photo of the crossing, ice doesn't appear to bother Mizu much and she usually makes multiple river crossing each time. Riddick and Jimmy don't want anything to do with it.

looking out across the bench from just up the ridge, check out the yurt dot in the photo above and bench lake and a tiny tiny yurt dot in the photo below. This is our neighborhood.

Film work

Worked on a couple of film projects down at the Mat. glacier. Included setting up a tarp screen where they projected images of the moons of Saturn. For a BBC documentary. Pretty interesting work, got to meet to several experts on various aspects of Titan's atmosphere and geology. Nice to have a job in the home neighborhood even if it was only a couple days.
