195/366
Camera: iPhone
Context: A beautiful day in Alaska
Notes: I took this panorama (the first I've tried with my phone) on the way back from a day of tubing at Arctic Valley. I love the mix of mountains, inlet, city, and clouds.

194/366
Camera: DSLR
Context: My relatively clean coffee table
Notes: I have been so delinquent in regularly taking shots, but I wanted to get started again. I thought that snapping the coffee table in our living room was worthwhile because it was a)cleaner than usual and b) has some of my new favorite big books on it.

188/366: Night Lights
Camera: iPhone
Context: A nearly full moon on a cold clear night

Camera: iPhone
Context: Bailey joined me in the office but refused to work 
Notes: The start of the semester and a lot of time spent at home meant that I didn't take as many photos as I should have during the first weeks of the year and often lacked for inspiration. At least I have a cute and silly doggy to catch longingly looking out the window.

185/366: More Wintry Trees

Camera: iPhone
Context: Munching moose
Notes: Mark and I took Bailey to a park this morning and as we were leaving we noticed a moose hanging out right outside its entrance. It was my first time to see one of these giant beasties, but I doubt it will be the last.
