A Beautiful Winter Day on the Palmer Hay Flats

Yesterday, the sun was shining, and the skies were a brilliant blue. After church, my friend Nikki and I decided we needed to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Our decision: to go snowshoeing on the Palmer Hayflats. We live only about 10 minutes from one of the access points to the flats, so its not a far drive. Its a beautiful and tranquil open space that is gorgeous throughout the year. Click on this link to learn more about the flats! http://www.palmerhayflats.org/seasons.html

Here are just a few pics from our walk yesterday. Hopefully they'll give you an idea of just how gorgeous this place is–even in the middle of the winter! ENJOY!

Another magical sunset. Thank you, Lord, for creating Alaska.
Excited to be using my awesome new snowshoes! Thanks Mom and Dad!
