What a difference a winter makes

While a bunch of the United States has had a very challenging winter with lots of snowfall and cold temperatures, our winter in Alaska has been very mild.  Our total snow fall can be counted on your fingers.  We’ve had some wind storms and cold temperatures that dipped below 0 F, but overall it’s been quite easy.  So easy that the Iditarod has been moved north to Fairbanks because there’s no snow, and the sprint dog races have been cancelled.  I was looking forward to photographing that again this year, planning out my shooting spots, but that will have to wait a year I guess.

Here are 2 shots.  The first is last winter taken 2/22/14 in Anchorage at the sprint dog races, the other taken 2/23/15 in my front yard.
