Just Us

In my thousands of hours on the Kenai River I should know to never be surprised by its beauty. I've told people for years that its a living thing, always changing, new every day. So last night at sundown, 4:30 for us but two hours  later for the rest of the world we went down to the launch for a sauna. It was the perfect mix of elements, snow falling, light fading and the tide was up making for a lake like stillness, wow.

Even though Mile 14 is on the edge of town, its eerie quiet...all the folks from the summer homes across the river are gone. Kenai Riverbend across and down from us is winterized, the fish are over so the Eagles are slowly but surely looking elsewhere, I suppose the seals to have moved on south a bit looking....its just us.
