This page begins on October 14th with a walk up the road and a couple of photos taken at Gettinger's Field. After that we jump to October 15th and a drive up to Murphy Dome, where there was a goodly amount of snow. Then we continue with October 16th and another walk from home, the 18th and another walk from home and finally, some bird photos taken on October 18th - 21st right here in our yard. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Here are two photos taken just up the road, from Gettinger's Field, on October 14th. As you can see, the leaves are all gone, and they have been gone since about mid-September.

On October 15th we took a drive up to the top of Murphy Dome. Murphy Dome is about 32 miles from our house, on the opposite side of Fairbanks. Murphy Dome is at 2,890 ft (=881 m), and as you can see, that is high enough so that the snow from October 5th and 6th has not melted away. In the center photo you can see Denali quite well.

Here are three more photos taken up on Murphy Dome. Look how the snow has stuck - it was obviously blowing pretty hard during the snowstorm.

We don't know what the mountain range in the first photo is - possibly the White Mountains or the Ray Mountains. In the third photo the three tallest peaks, from left to right, are Mt. Hayes, Mt. Hess, and Mt. Deborah, all in the Alaska Range.

Here are two final photos taken from near the summit of Murphy Dome. These photos again show how the snow was blown by the wind.

These first two photos are of a Hairy Woodpecker on our suet feeder. Compare the size of this bird to the one on Page 1 in Row 11. The third photo shows ice on a leaf which is lying on the ground.
