This morning we woke up to news that our Quiet Giant resting in the entrance to Cook Inlet had awoken and spewed ash to 30,000 feet. As it's still dark here in Alaska, a visual confirmation is still not possible of the extent of and ash headed up the inlet towards our location. Homer, Port Graham, English Bay, and Seldovia are just a few miles away and will be reporting back to the Alaska Volcano Observatory as daybreak awakes here in the Last Frontier. You can view the Volcano Webcam for up to the minute images of the volcano activities.

The rumbling giant just refuses to quiet down. Went to Homer yesterday to photograph the eagles on the Homer Spit. The air in the area had a sulfur odor from Augustine that was somewhat unpleasant. The odor wasn't bothering the eagles as they lined the outer beaches on the Homer Spit. There was some ash in the air but nothing that would bother you much.
I hope everyone is ready for the Superbowl Sunday. Should be a very good game from two excellent football teams.
To both the Seattle Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers, congratulations on achieving the grand daddy of sporting events. We here in the Frozen Frigid North wish you all a safe and memorable game. We are very proud of how everyone has risen to a level of excellence both on and off the field. As a father, I am proud to have my two boys look up to such an outstanding group of men. Thanks for setting this fine example of leadership for the youth following in your footsteps.
Now if Super Sunday would just hurry up and get here!
