Sunshine, then snow

Sunday's sunshine brightened our walk and this birch tree.
As we get a taste of snowy weather, here are a couple photos from our walk on Sunday. The sunshine was wonderful.
I’ve heard people talking this week about the increasing daylight and the sunshine’s warmth. February is just around the corner, and that’s the beginning of the best part of winter – when we’re gaining more than 5 minutes of light per day and it feels like spring is just around the corner (although, in reality, it’s at least three months down the road).

It's amazing what a little sunshine will do for your mood ... and for the look of once-dreary dead foliage.
About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I served as the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News for nine years. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.
