Watchman Peek

We got a momentary break in the wind and rain yesterday--even some sun! Here we get a peek at a watchman figure at the top of a totem pole in Kasaan Totem Park.

Subtle Clock

There are many ways to tell time without an actual timepiece. Here we see the MV Prince of Wales on its way to Hollis, as it passes by Kasaan. What time is it? Right around 6 PM...I was on the beach in front of Naay I'waans, with a nice Equinox fire going.

Who Knew

A couple of weeks ago, I took this picture but used another for the blog post. Who knew it would be one of the last times I would see the sun?

Happy Spring!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Today, the Irish culture gets celebrated all over the world. Here we see a door inside the carving shed at Hydaburg, Alaska--a celebration of the Haida (Xaadas) culture. The carvers have taped examples of the Haida language, Xaad kil, on this door--and all around the building--to help them keep their endangered Native language alive.

So, you think your town has potholes? Here we see Bunard Street--the most used street in Kasaan, since it leads to the road which connects us to the rest of Prince of Wales Island's road system.

Little Buddy

Up periscope, Little Buddy! I have to admit to looking at seals differently, after having eaten some seal meat in Juneau back in November. They seem so much tastier, though still plenty cute.
