While I'm on here let me say I'm so pleased to take you along, and hear how much your enjoying the trip.
I was lucky to catch it just as a part of the glacier was breaking off.
I know there's a technical term for it. For me it was called a 'magical moment' ..
Very little sunshine for this Florida lady. But it was expected so I think I handled it ok... Cold, windy, rainy, but that's all part of it..
While in port at Ketchican a bald eagle flew in front of me and landed on this post.. I took the best photo I could..
Right now I'm using my blog as sort of a personal journey but as I always say, your welcome to come along.. Since I posted yesterday I want to add a few more pics.
Whether you are from the U.S. or other parts of the world I must say how proud I am of the beauty of this country.. This part of it is majestic, breath taking and awesome.. Did I leave out anything ?
Glacier Bay.A spectacular sight.
A small painting of Juneau, Ak. as seen from the ship.
yes, I actually was so inspired that I did a plein aire painting..
Wow, fantastic views, BJ! And a wonderful plein air painting as well!
