and blossoms on benches.
Babies in windows...
and fast, awesome pitches.
Fragrant wild roses that grace us in spring.
These are a few of my favorite things!
Let's see, where was I?

Interested in Inuit culture? Check out these films...
The Fast Runner is an excellent representation of ancient Inuit culture. The R-rating is for nudity, violence, and some language. Subtitles are utilized throughout. I do not recommend this film for children, but it's an extremely accurate portrayal of the culture. It was introduced to me by an Inupiat woman who raved about it. And I agree!

The Snow Walker is another excellent representation of Inuit culture circa 1940's. This film is rated PG, I'm guessing for language. No subtitles that I remember. It starts a little slow, but gets much better. It will leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the survival skills of this culture.

Great For Kids!
Whale Snow by Debby Dahl Edwardson is a warm and culturally sensitive story centered on the Inupiat subsistence tradition of whaling. It is available in both English and Inupiaq translation. The illustrations, by Annie Patterson are exquisite and add to the quiet softness that the story inspires.

The Alaska Geographic series is an excellent informational resource. The edition entitled North Slope Now deals exclusively with this area and even features relatives of my students. Although it was published in 1989, it is still current enough to provide a general understanding of culture, lifestyle, and issues faced by this northern-most region.

Very well done!
Next, we'd like to hear "How Do You Solve a Problem like Mosquitoes."
LOL! Hey, I love that idea! :)
I love it! And your new super duper camera takes nice photos too. Hope you're enjoying your trip.
Love you. Stay safe. : ) Oops! Sounding very mama-ish.
Hey, Rm! I'm having a great trip. Today I've been experiencing some motion sickness...not sure why, but I'm thinking it may have to do with the elevator (weird). But, other than that, everything has been terrific!
I'm glad you liked the photos. I'm loving my new camera, but still have a lot to learn in terms of using it! :) I've got lots of photos to share, but am having a hard time finding time to post things. I'll try to do better.
Love you, too!
Great photots! I liked the flowers in benches and little kid in the windowseat. Cute!
Hi, Sarah. I'm so glad you liked the photos. Thanks for taking the time to say hello! :)
