This photo of a fisherman and a black bear remind me of this quote from Dirty Harry:

If you're ever in Palmer, Alaska, try the Mediterranean Salad at Sophia's KafeNeo. (Fresh baked bread not shown.)

I just discovered this flower and plant garden at the Palmer, Alaska Visitor's Center during a walk last night. It's amazing what you see when walking instead of bike riding (and what you see bike riding instead of driving in a car).

As of late June, 2011, the Alaska fireweed was already growing very well.

I don't remember exactly where I took this photo of some green Alaska water, but it's probably in the Turnagain Arm area south of Anchorage, or possibly farther south in an area that I think is known as Kenai Lake. All I know for sure is that the date of the photo was September 26, 2010, and I was either on my way to Seward, Alaska, or driving back from Seward.

This is the MTA building in Palmer, Alaska. As you can see, they have a terrific view of one of the mountain ranges here in Palmer.

Here's a photo of my favorite van in Talkeetna, Alaska, along with the snow that has accumulated. Taken April 3, 2011.
