As the Anchorage emerges from hibernation, I head toward the wind blown and southern facing Turnagain Arm and to touch the year’s first patches of dry ground. On one of those days coming back from Windy Corner, the velvety browns of Potter Marsh caught my eye. This view is from the boardwalk along the highway, where a favorite squiggle of the waterway and the layers of mountains across the arm align with a natural perfection.
