Taken from a cruise ship in Seward, Alaska. The water gets its bright blue hue from glacial silt runoff from Resurrection River. The Bay and River both get their names from Alexander Baranov, who retreated to the bay during a storm that ended on Easter Sunday.

Did you know the Alaska Equal Rights Act of 1945, the first anti-discrimination law in the United States, was signed into law today? You do now!

It was signed February 16th, 1945 and dismantled Jim Crow laws in Alaska.
Cedar planks for sale at a local antique mall. Every time I walk by them the scent makes me swoon.
I’ve gotten a new position at work, and am now working remotely. It’s a big change for me, although I’m pretty late to the work from home party.

My current coping mechanisms for barely leaving the house are lots of walks and buying flowers for my new home office at the grocery store.
