am i overdoing it with the chris mccandless stuff?
can’t you see me
falling in love with you
can’t you tell
by the magnetism,
the rain;
the reckless way my hair
falls into your eyes
the infinite desert of skin
laid in layers upon layers
yours on mine on yours on mine
the road maps of your palms
and my love of following them
the perpetual understanding of everything
when the answers are found
in every unkissed portion of your body.

In the 1970′s, actress and model Tippi Hedren (mother of actress Melanie Griffith) created the Shambala Preserve after producing the film Roar. The preserve rescued exotic big cats living in captivity that had been abused or were in need of help, one of which the family created a close bond with. Neil the lion lived with the family in their home, and played an active role in the day to day activities of the preserve.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute estimates the auroras are visible 243 nights a year from the Fairbanks area. Many photographers escape Fairbank’s ambient lights by traveling the Elliott or Steese Highways to capture the auroras. A popular destination is the Wickersham Dome Trailhead parking lot at mile 28 and nearby pullouts on the Elliott Highway. Those trails lead into the Bureau of Land Management-managed one-million-acre White Mountains National Recreation Area and its winter trails. Here’s a photo taken near the Wickersham Dome Trailhead.
