Early spring morning view of Mt Edgecumbe

The volcanoe in the early mist/ fog yesterday morning when I arrived to work.

Tidepooling

Last Monday we went out to John Brown beach (at the tip of Japonski Island here in Sitka) to explore the tide pools.
A clear day, great views of the volcano:

A lot of anemones: (Pics look a little odd due to shooting into the water.)

Leather star fish abound, in all their aromatic glory (they have a garlic-like aroma):

T & JBug held one:

Ochre starfishes under a rock. They were all over the place!

And more unusual wildlife: Superboy and his Parkour training on the rocks, lol:

And last, but not least, Cassie continues to enjoy the water, regardless of the water temp!

View out back this evening.

I love my backyard. It provides me with some great views, including tonight’s sunset.

Sunset flight out of Sitka

We left late in the afternoon, and was able to get an ok shot of Mt Edgecumbe, the extinct volcano just across Sitka Sound, plus a little later some sunset shots of the sun setting out in the Pacific.

A little later,over the southern end of Baranoff Island, the sunset over the Pacific with the mountains in the foreground.

And then as we left the southernmost edge of the island:
