Beautiful July 4th in Alaska. Actually, we have had a beautiful week. Every day has been in the High 60s - Low 70s and plenty of sun. Much better than last year. Spencer had a friend over and we decided to drive to Potters Marsh; a wet-lands area that borders the south side of Anchorage. This is a marshy area with a long board walk stretching along 2 sides and set up for wildlife viewing.


You couldn't ask for a better day for a walk. We saw a bald eagle and its nest; various species of birds, fish and flowers (Lillys). The notification sign indicated that there had been beaver, muskrats, minks and moose in the area; however, we did not see them today. I have added a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.
