But, for <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=81&month=1&year=2011&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1" rel="nofollow">now</a>, we have to content ourselves with sub5-hour days, which lend themselves to quiet reflection and noticing things that are near, like the moon. Snatches of sunlight gather on snowy spruce branches at midday, and hoar-frosted birch trees blaze like chandeliers when the light is right. <br /><br />Late winter in interior Alaska is a time for getting out. The trails are good and hard. No bugs! <br /><br />Peace.Doug Noonhttp://borderland.northernattitude.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-49461787135359993422011-01-11T22:28:59.664-05:002011-01-11T22:28:59.664-05:00Amen.
