This page begins with a preview of our only 2019 Print Edition Calendar and then we jump to November 4th, a night when we walked up the road to a large field and took photos of the Aurora Borealis. The Aurora shots end at Row #10 and then we show you some Kazuya's Baked Delights photos, a photo of a Black-capped Chickadee feeding at one of our suet feeders, and then some photos of us eating ice cream cones in the snow.

| Our Only 2019 Print Edition Calendar |
Here are three shots which show various aspects of the only 2019 PRINT EDITION Calendar that we've made. This is available now, the Amazon link to it is HERE.
This calendar is available only with USA Holidays. Of course it can be ordered through your local bookstore, just go to the Amazon link, write down the ISBN number and ask your local bookstore to order it for you. If you prefer not to look at Amazon, the ISBN is 978-0-9969810-8-8.
HERE is a PDF file which shows what this calendar will look like when hanging on your wall (new window). It is 1.35 MB in size. It's COMPLETE, but Watermarked, secured against printing, reduced in size to 3.95 inches in width and PDF'd at the VERY lowest possible quality - all in an attempt to prevent theft. I suggest that you right click on the link and select "Save Link As". Then after it's downloaded to your Hard Drive in a place where you can find it again, open it in Adobe Reader - version 9 or later (very important - it most likely will not
open in a version earlier than 9).

All three photos in this row are the same, or at least they were all processed from the same original, but by different amounts and using somewhat different methods. This photo was shot while standing in our driveway.

Here are three more aurora shots - all three of these are different photos. These were also all taken from our driveway. When we go out to shoot the aurora we sometimes get stuck in our driveway because the lights are so intense we just want to take photos, and we have to convince ourselves that the views up the road will be better.

Now we have walked up the road a ways and set up our tripods, but we still have not made it to the big field which is our goal.

Now we have arrived at the field where we went to be and now we can take photos in any direction. I believe that these three were all taken while looking towards the south.

The first shot in this row was again, taken while looking more or less to the south. The second and third images are from the same original, just processed differently. That shot was taken while looking more or less to the north, notice the Big Dipper (Ursa major).

On November 10th Kazuya had an opportunity to sell his Kazuya's Baked Delights at the Ski Patrol's Ski Swap. This took place at Pioneer Park and the center shot shows the outside of the building we were in.

On November 17th Kazuya's Baked Delights was at the Barnette Magnet School Bazaar. The first shot shows our table. By the end of the day it was nearly an empty table. We also sold some books. he second shot shows a Black-capped Chickadee on one of our suet feeders. What amazing birds!

On November 21st we walked the 1 mile to our nearest convenience store to get a couple of items. It was a warm day, around 17° F (-8.33° C) and we got rather warm, so while we were at the store we got ice cream cones to eat while walking home. Nice! Eating ice cream in the snow is so enjoyable - there is no need to rush - it's not going to melt and start running down the cone and dripping on your clothes or anything. Alaska has the highest per capita ice cream consumption of any state, according to Alaskans anyway.
