Alaska is a land that presents a kaleidoscope of colors and views that just feed an artist’s mind. Whether you use a camera or a paintbrush, the opportunity to take a once in a lifetime picture happens everyday. When you visit make sure you have lots of batteries for your camera. You’re gonna need them!

The beauty here just takes your breath away. You never know what to expect to see out your window. I spend lots of time, sometimes too much, just watching the wildlife through my window. We have fox, coyotes, wolves, bears, eagles, falcons, cranes, tons and tons of birds of all types. (If you like birds this is the place to come.)

Many people do not realize that Alaska is included in the Pacific Ring of Fire. We can actually see three volcanoes from the Kenai Peninsula, two right from our front porch. Alaska has at least one earthquake a day – somewhere.

Summers are really cool. There is so much to do… The temperature runs around 55-70 but it is not unusual to get in the mid to high 80’s in the interior. There is so much color with all the wildflowers in bloom not to mention in June and July you don’t want to go to bed because it stays light until just about 1:00 am. On the flip side we have short days from mid November through January when the sun doesn’t rise above the mountains until almost 10:00 am and is down behind the mountains by 4:00 pm.

Life here is very laid back. No one is in a hurry, well some are…there is only one main road or highway on the Kenai Peninsula, so you can’t get lost. Seasons here are divided into fishing season, hunting season and construction season. Alaskans are self sufficient, down to earth, generous and sometimes very opinionated people.
