Dogs and Whales and Friends

(What more could you want?) Last weekend we skipped town and spent a few days in beautiful Kasilof. We had great visits with some of our favorite people, dogs, and woods - below are a few photos from an early-season dog run (for the dogs, the 40-degree temps made it a hot day for pulling the 4-wheeler). 

On the drive back to Anchorage, Laura spotted a pod of belugas way up Turnagain Arm. It was the first time either of us had seen them in at least 3 years. We pulled off and got to watch them surface and blow for a few minutes while traffic zoomed by. There's nothing like impromptu whale-watching! Now I'm wondering why some whales (e.g. humpbacks) breach completely, and others (e.g. belugas) don't... I took a little video of the whales, though with no zoom you'll have to take my word they're actually there.
