My wednesdaywalk took a drive south

Yesterday and Today

It snowed again yesterday, the day before we had our driveway plowed, and it was free of snow for all of maybe if we were lucky 12 hours. Then it started to fill back up, oh well winter in Alaska.

That really is a full living color photograph and it has not been made into a black and white image. There just was no real color to be seen. I like how the snow blob just seems to be screaming "bah winter still". It was still a greyish black and white day at home, and we really needed to make it down to Homer.

Today

So for today I went with a theme for my pictures. It was a nice sort of day in Homer today, they at least had some blue sky and color. Sky was light blue and the water looked a nice deep blue. Got a couple of boats passing by the seagull trying to take a dip in the water. It was pretty windy and cold even though the sun was shining, it was cold with the wind. Some nice chop on the water from the wind though.

On the other side of the small building, (the nicely done toilets), I was trying to shelter myself from the wind, I was able to capture this shot of a helicopter flying by.

More things flying in the sky, a seagull and a plane.

Last one, another boat, and a lot of floating seagulls.

There is not much snow left on the ground in Homer, even a little bit of green grass showing through in spots. It was a pretty good day at the end of the road, even though it was a cold wind.

You must be looking forward to spring by now but found some cool shots still lots of activity there even with the snow and cold

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk !tip

I think I'd try this walk thingy and blogging too. It seems fun. Not much sights around me to enthrall though but then again, to each his own.

Lovely photographs by the way. How can there be no colour? That's weird. Not even a brown?

It is a really weathered post the snow blob is sitting on, the sky was completely overcast, even the trees across the yard were just black and white, it was like all the color had been sucked out of everything yesterday.

Hmm I would love to see that in real life though.

I am so glad you got out of the driveway today! I love the boat pictures...they look like what I would hope to see on a Wednesday Walk in Alaska!

Awesome sky, water, boat and seagull photography. Thanks for sharing your beautiful winter in Alaska and i have really enjoyed it.

I had no idea you are in Alaska. It feels like I live in Alaska with this Arctic front we have been getting. Do you know @thekitchenfairy? Another Alaskan.

No I did not know that she was up here in Alaska, or if I did I forgot. I'll have to take a look over at her blog and see some of the cooking stuff, I do cook on occasion.

I am faaaaar from Alaska, my lady. Alaska Highway is the only way by car/land to Alaska, yes, but it's still far from Alaska 😊, more than 24 H drive

wow... okay I need to look at a map. Where are you?
