Homer has an annual winter carnival for a weekend in February annually. The only thing I ever have a chance to participate in is the parade. Two Saturdays ago, I stood outside for 20 minutes in the not too cold, but very icy weather to enjoy

Crystal Fire
Many of the chunks of ice present on the beach are disappointingly cloudy in appearance, which can be interesting in its own way. I love finding large chunks that are crystal clear.
Fairytale Journey
I don’t know about you, but my favorite sunsets involved this and deeper shades of pink. The merits of such colors outside of nature can be debated, but it is simply spectacular in the clouds.
This winter, the moose are having a hard time finding food because of how much snow we have. I looked outside of work one afternoon and was surprised to see this moose standing on the top of the berm of snow (quite tall) and eating spruce needles!
Here he is a little farther down, but it doesn’t show how high the berm is.
I watched him throughout the afternoon. At one point, he climbed to the top and attempted to go down the other side, but it looked like he walked onto softer snow and tumbled down! I was bummed I missed it on video!
My personal favorite from the afternoon. Stretch!
Bubbled Road
Ice on the beach has come to be one of my favorite scenes. Such interesting changes that are different each time I come for a visit. This particular visit made for a treacherous path of ice, but was amazing to see.
