June 10, 2012:

We enjoyed our Sunday with family

out on the water in Juneau, Alaska

trying to catch a king salmon and a rainy day.

No luck catching a king salmon,

although we had a fabulous lunch while
laughing and telling stories...

Heading out of the harbor...

A bald eagle in a tree on the point,
and it was perched there for hours...

A couple of geese
flying overhead...

A Scoter popped
up for a visit...

A soaring bald eagle...

Alaska Seaplane...

A couple of beagles ran quite the distance
along the shoreline; they were all alone
and appeared to be on a mission of some sort
before heading into the trees above...

We thought they had a fish on,
but no go...

Slow day fishing for everyone,
never saw anyone (including us)
hook a king salmon today...

This bald eagle was in this tree
for a hour and a half before it took flight.

What a fabulous day we all had!!

This is my last boat outing while fishing the derby on August 13, 2010 with my husband aboard the F/V Chelsey this year (as he had to go back commercial power trolling)...you will probably notice that we didn't have much luck fishing, although it was a serene day on the water, so we kicked back and enjoyed all the splendid beauty this fine day offered us north of Juneau...
