Alaskan Beauty


We have had the opportunity to spend several weeks in Alaska this summer enjoying the natural beauty around us. The weather was unseasonably nice for us. Here are some pictures from one of the most beautiful places in the world, Glacier Bay. It was a picture perfect day. These pictures are of what is known as "calving." Basically, we stand around waiting for ice to melt. Truly magnificent:






One of Jeff's goals has been to capture the perfect eagle picture. Here are a few of a playful eagle around the glaciers. He is still searching for the perfect shot:






The captain graciously let me steer the ship through the glaciers. Apparently he wasn't thrilled with my driving skills:

When I saw the title, I was expecting to see a bunch of pictures of me. How disappointing. haha. Glad you guys got to spend so much time in the last frontier. Now, if we can get you outside of the inside passage to the real state!! :)
