Delta Mountains from the rest area on Richardson Highway
just after Delta Junction.
It has been warm since last week, so we didn't want to spend my day-off day at home
and we went on the drive to Delta Junction.
Not many people living in Fairbanks would drive all the way to Delta Junction
simply to see some mountains and scenery like we did.
However, the view of the snowy peaks were amazing! We saw a couple of eagles, too!
At the local supermarket, we found lots of products from Russia, which was pretty interesting
for me, who learned some basic Russian and other Eastern European languages.
I hadn't seen Cyrillic letters for a while, so it was fun.
フェアバンクスから東へ車で2時間ちょっとかかるデルタ・ジャンクションにドライブに行ってきました。
別に何か名物があるというわけでもないところなのですが、気温も日差しも春めいてきたので
（といっても、まだ雪に覆われていますが）浮き足立って、仕事が休みの日に出かけてきました。
標高的に富士山より高い、あるいは富士山級の高さの山々が連なる風景はとても雄大でした。
デルタ・ジャンクションには、ロシア系の人が多く住んでいるようで、地元のスーパーには、キリル文字が書かれた商品が多数、並んでいて、ロシア語をかじったことのある自分としてはテンションがあがりました。
The Delta Mountains were still far away.
Here is the Santa Claus House in North Pole.
We had not seen this statue since we came from Oregon to Fairbanks last June.
The mountains were getting closer.
The river just started to melt.
We saw quite a few campers, too.
I wondered if there was some kind of event.
Pica pica (Black-billed Magpie) at a parking lot in front of some lake.
Pica pica (Black-billed Magpie).
They were pretty.

They were just by the highway.
The river melted a lot already near Delta Junction.
On the way back home from Delta Junction,
we saw 2 bald eagles.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald Eagle).
They noticed us.
こっちを気にしてる？

It looks so cool when they are flying.
この飛び立った瞬間の格好が凛々しいです。
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald Eagle).
They were clumsy when landing on the top of the tree.
