Here is an Alaskan "moment of zen" to send you off to dreamland.

Backyard Moose in Palmer, Alaska from Dennis Zaki on Vimeo.
My friend Dennis Zaki recorded this out of his back window in Palmer the other day.

They are pretty majestic alright.

Just a sweet video that my daughter shared which I thought all of you might enjoy as well.

One of my favorite songs, and they did a very nice job with it. Thanks Angel!

I thought I would leave you this evening with a sample of the BEST that Alaska has to offer.

This last Sunday my friend Dennis Zaki, myself, and a few friends went for a hike out near Girdwood. We had been hearing about numerous bear sightings, but I wasn't worried because I'm pretty sure I can outrun Dennis.

It was a somewhat cloudy day, but like always there was beauty everywhere.

The above photo is of Falls Creek, which is a photographers dream as it is almost impossible to take a bad picture there.  As you can see for yourself from these next two photos.

We kind of made a game out of finding new angles from which to take pictures. Yeah, like THAT was hard.

The one great thing about Alaska is that no matter HOW stressful your day has been, just a few hours out of the house and immersed in our beautiful surroundings will almost always brighten your day and chase those doldrums away.

Now if only we could bottle it.

Namaste my friends.  

Time for a mental health break.

This a preview for a film called TimeScapes" which you can learn more about here.

I don't know about you but just watching that gave me a sense of serenity and peace.

Namaste, my friends.

Just another night in Anchorage.

Pleasant dream my friends.
