season has arrived here in the Copper River Valley! It’s always impressive seeing these massive rivers break up. A little nerve wracking for riverfront neighbors, but we all held our breaths to see if the banks would hold, the would dam up more, or the would recede. While we waited last week we saw so many swans, caribou and ducks seemingly nonchalantly taking on the river.

The beauty of the moving water at these temperatures puts you in a trance. The mighty is still open even after a few weeks of 40 below zero. Of course, once it freezes on top it’s still always moving underneath, all winter long. Always on that eternal quest for the ocean...

Beautiful on the way home last night. Some cool little river features framed by picturesque scenery were definitely worth turning around for.
