swamp girls

80F and sunny yesterday after work. I felt like taking a walk, so I grabbed my boots and ice water and  trudged around in the swamps and woods north of the house with Pea and Linnea for a couple hours. We came around the backside of L-shaped lake and surprised a pair of loons. The air rising off the swamp moss was so warm and the lake looked so cool and refreshing, but a dip will have to wait for a couple weeks as the lake is literally cold as ice.

one of our winter training trails.
Linnea dips her toes into L-shaped lake.

 ice deep in the woods.

    thats not bear poop its from a moose, bear poop is black (and not hard like that) and often you can see old berries in it.

    Hi Anonymous,

    Trust this Alaskan girl-- it's bear poop! I can take a picture of some moose poop for you if you want a comparison? If you have the stomach for it, you can google "bear poop" and see some similar specimens :) Actually, go ahead and google "moose poop" while you are at it :D
