Vile. Just vile.

Traffic! ~ Riding on a remote road, encountered this “wiggle butt.” We’d allow h/her to proceed in peace expecting h/her to veer off, then we’d ride only to catch up. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Eventually, turned around. That’s what we get for riding at rush hour! 😊#porcupine #Alaska #alaskawildlife

Sitting on this rock and looking longingly out to sea came so naturally, I cannot help but wonder if there is a little bit of “mermaid” in my family history. 🤔#giantscauseway #ireland #mermaid

Wildflowers are just a good thing … Went for a walk with old friends ~ irises, chocolate lilies, paintbrush, orchids, lupine, and geraniums w/ a bee butt … Soul-filling. Time well-spent. #Alaska #flowers #wildflowers

A cat in the lap is more effective than a five-ton anchor for keeping you in one place … So much to do, but then, I am already doing something important. #cat #catlover

Loons galore on our lake paddle and two cruised right past Kevin … sweet. So nice to be out on the water again. So nice to be home, if only for a few weeks. #alaska #wildlife #loons

As one who loves ghost stories it is exciting to hear we have a ghost in the family — this according to a historical family document.

Per the castle website, she is still here, rustling her skirt & knocking on doors … interesting. A return trip to Ireland is in order. Sláinte!

It's time for another episode of Story Borealis at 11 a.m. Alaska time. The theme: Affairs of the ♥️ w/ fabulous stories from Linda Gorham, Jeff Doyle, Noa Baum Storytelling, & Anne Rutherford. I also slip a story in there. Listen live at KBBI.org or afterwards here: ingridnixon.com/2025-episode...

Seeking a new business venture? I envision franchise possibilities … N. Ireland.

If you could be buried in a coffin that reflects your profession/life, what would it be? ~ Visited 1 Ghana’s fantasy coffin makers. U name it, they’ll make it & ship! As the bottle shows: use it for storage until you need it. So creative. Fantastic … Apex Expeditions #ghana #westafrica #travel

In Ghana: To drink or not to drink — that is the question! #travel #westafrica

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly one can get halfway around the world … Alaska. Four flights later, West Africa. And my luggage, too. ~ The miracles of this modern world we take for granted. #travel #africa Onward! Working with a great team from Apex Expeditions. 🙌

The longest journey statts with a single flight … and then another … and then another! West Africa-bound with Apex Expeditions … Lots of stories bouncing in my head. #travel

Our little tabby, who runs at the sound of paper being crunched up for firestarter, has become obsessed with tissue paper. He wraps himself up in pieces, then looks at us to give him a rub. This creates a cacophony of noise that sends him into ecstasy. Hopelessly adorable. #catlove
