Fresh shrimp from Southeast Alaska make a nice treat. Pop these in your freezer and enjoy them year-round!

Momma Bear and Three Cubs Go to School
Look at who stopped by for the first day of orientation at the University of Alaska Southeast campus in Juneau. A special thanks to my friend Katy Jordan for sharing this awesome picture that captures the best of Alaska!
Backseat Bear Cub
It turns out this was just a bear cub mounted for display, but you gotta admit - it looks pretty real and ALIVE in that backseat! Only in Alaska, folks!
Naughty No-See-Ums
The thing about "No-See-Ums" is you don't really see 'em coming. Until it's too late. Despite dousing myself with bug spray, my forehead still managed to recently get devoured by those little terrors with the taunting nickname.
Note to self: don't opt for the 'organic' bug spray, especially if up north in major mosquito territory, like these poor folks who experienced what could very well be the worst swarm of Alaskan mosquitoes ever.
Immediately after the initial attack of no-see-ums.
One week later.
