European Birdcherry, aka Mayday Tree. This one is growing along a side street in the Grandview Gardens neighborhood. These trees were reclassified as invasives in 2005 — but they never fail to make me smile at this time of year, when they explode with white blooms. Hard to believe all these trees were bare less than three weeks ago. Anchorage can be such an amazing place.

Immaculate and pointless strip of grass, midtown parking lot.

Municipal Bike to Work Day catching on

I saw about five times as many bike riders in the morning as on a typical day, and the city and a league of sponsors set up refreshment stations [including a ‘bacon station’ — ha!] on various bike routes. 1,880 riders on 155 teams registered for the event.
Anchorage is a fantastic place to get around by bike — as many have realized for a long time, with more and more joining in all the time.
