Hobbs Family 2018 – Subsistence-Style!

August 27, 2018July 9, 2023by TamaraV3 Comments

Today, after a lovely afternoon perusing Carlee Hobbs’ happy greenhouse, and dining on salmon melts and tomato soup for lunch, the Hobbs family drove down to the Nome River with their friend Janet to check her net. They’ll be bringing home some delicious silver salmon tonight!

We had rain showers off and on all afternoon and out came a lovely rainbow, seen faintly below in the images. After the sun snuck behind a cloud for a wee minute, we took the opportunity for an impromptu, subsistence-style photoshoot!

Hope you enjoy! ♥

Nome Wildflowers

One thing I didn’t anticipate when moving to Nome was the huge lack of trees. After three years, I’ve grown a little more accustomed to the wide open landscape, unhindered by majestic, leafy skyscrapers.

But one thing Nome does have an abundance of is tiny, darling, wildflowers. By mid-July this year they were out en-mass, likely a little later due to the massive amount of snow we received this past winter.

So many clumps sit just inches off the ground, but I was able to find a patch of wild irises and star flowers as well.
