The caption for the following picture reads, '5/24/02 Tundra "forest" south of Deadhorse, AK.' I don't think that this is true "tundral forest," but--as I'm not really sure what true "tundral forest" is--maybe I'd better keep my mouth shut.  :)

   The caption for the following picture reads, '5/24/02 closeup of Tundra "forest" just South of Deadhorse, AK.' -Dad's hand shown in relation to a dwarf willow--that may well be over 100 years old.  (!)

   The caption for the following picture reads, "5/24/02 pond just South of Deadhorse, tried to catch the light shimmering on the waves. didn't work." This is tough--I've never been able to capture the effect, myself.  It is earthshatteringly beautiful, though.

   The caption for the following picture reads, "5/24/02 muskoxen just south of Deadhorse." -Muskox dudes! :)

   In the same herd, we saw some baby muskox-dudes running around.  I really regret not taking more pictures of them, 'n stuff.  They were really cute.  :)

On to more pictures.
