McGinnis Peak in the Alaska Range towers over the Black Rapids Glacier. Freshly covered ice foliation, likely from sedimentary stratification in the accumulation area, creates a rippled surface in the light.

Vertically composed photo of McGinnis Peak. The tall triangular peak is rocky, but snow and ice-covered at the top. The sky above is blue with small white clouds. A thin layer of white and gray clouds separate the peak in the upper frame from the lower half of the mountain. A steep valley glacier and icefall winds down in the lower reaches of the peak, emptying into the much larger Black Rapids Glacier. The lower reaches of the valley glacier are covered in brown rocky debris. The foreground is looking down a rippled surface of snow, freshly fallen the night before on foliated ice, almost looking like small waves in the snow.

A cluster of small pink orchids blooms on slender dark stems, each flower nodding beneath a crown of narrow pink-purple petals above a pouched lower lip. The lip is white flushed with pink, marked with reddish-brown spots and streaks and a patch of bright yellow bristles at its center. Many blooms fill the frame at slightly different depths, sharpest in the middle and softening into a green and pink blur behind.

Low golden sunlight breaks through clouds over a high tundra meadow of dry golden grass scattered with rocks and small spruce trees. On the right, a tall weathered rock outcrop rises above the trees. Rolling hills and distant snow-dusted mountains fade into the hazy light beyond, and sun rays streak across the scene from the upper left.

A wintry mountain scene lit in deep blue twilight. In the foreground, the rippled snow-covered surface of a glacier stretches back in low mounds and swells. Beyond it rise steep, snow-plastered peaks with a sharp summit near the center. The whole scene is monochrome blue, dim and cold, with no sky color, only the faint glow of dusk.

A small creek tumbles down a series of rocky steps in a long exposure that blurs the falling water into smooth white streaks and veils. Dark boulders thick with bright green moss break up the flow, and fallen yellow and gold birch leaves are scattered across the rocks and collected along the water's edge. The stream drops through several tiers from the top of the frame toward the lower left, framed by autumn brush and more leaf-covered ground.

The beauty of nature is abundant in #Alaska. One look from the perspective of our founder, Connie Taylor, and her camera lens, and you'll see why.

To celebrate "Ancestor Appreciation Day"; I found this old photo in my mom's things of my great grandparents, Annie and Lee. I never met them, but my grandma would often talk about them.

I've also included the cover of my grandma's book that nicely displays she and her siblings.
