These are reindeer paws. More later.
Our day began with an actual sunrise! We had assumed there was no sun at all in November/December, but we were wrong. The day retains a twilight sort of light, as the sun passes low in the sky.
There are a number of art displays and sculptures at The Taste of Alaska Lodge, where we are staying. It has given me ideas for San Jose (sorry, Leslie!)
The morning light made our cabin and the main house glow this morning.
And drew us out to play!
You know I have a thing about these reflection photos.
Kory, the lodge owner, has a dog, Cooper, who thinks we are pretty OK humans, and hangs with us.
We headed out at noon for our Running with Reindeer adventure, down Murphy Dome Road, northeast of Fairbanks.
Jane, the owner of the business, introduced us to the reindeer family.
If you can enlarge this photo of Olive, you will see the reflection of us humans in her eye.
The reindeer ran. the humans walked.
And all too soon, after cookies and tea in Jane and her family's living room, it was sunset, 3:30pm, and time for us to head back to the lodge.
The Aurora Borealis forecast is promising for tonight, so at 10pm, we're driving to Wickersham Dome, 30 miles north of here on the Elliot Highway. Wish us luck!
