This weekend Boyd and I did some exploring. The weather was great here. It was in the mid-60's, and it was sunny all weekend long! On Saturday we went south of Anchorage. That is where the wildlife reserve, and the Portage Glacier are located. On Sunday we hiked the Butte, and visited various lakes around the valley. Things have been going really well here. The weather has been nice, and we are both enjoying our jobs. The leaves are starting to change colors, and off in the distance you can see the snow capped mountains. Winter is well on its way! The pictures are beautiful, but they do not do this place justice at all. Its amazing to know that when God made this beautiful place he had me in mind!

Reflection Lake
We only made it half way up the Butte ( a small mountain near our house). It was really steep and I was out of breath.
This is Portage Lake. Portage Glacier is just around the bend. If you look close you can see pieces of the glacier in the water.
Moose Flats
The Wildlife Reserve Gift Shop, I really liked the hat, but Boyd put his foot down. : /
The animals at the reserve have been rescued in some way or another; some were shot, hit by cars, or are in some way injured.
Grizzly Bear
Baby Elk
These trees died in the 1964 earthquake. The salt water came up into the land and killed the trees.
