January 14, 2014: 

Stunning Evergreen Diamond Dew

on a Foggy Day in Juneau Alaska...

Not-So-Much Intermittent Sun Shining today...
although any lil' bit has been a welcoming sight...

August 10, 2012: Day 1 of the 3-Day Golden North Salmon Derby in Juneau, Alaska...

August 10, 2012: 

Day 1 fishing the 3-Day Golden North Salmon Derby

with my father in law from his boat in Juneau, Alaska ~ 

(No fish today, although we had great fun)...

Nearing the fishing grounds
so slowing down to get ready to switch from the big motor
to the kicker, and then bait the hooks to start fishing...

Chilkat Mountain Range...

A unique formation of
towering clouds...

Boats full of whale watchers
were everywhere...

A Gull
taking flight...

Pigeon Guillemots
(seabirds related to the puffins)
that breed on the coasts and islands in southern Alaska
were in abundance all day...

My 87-year-young father in law Ralph was pondering
where all those elusive King Salmon
and Coho were hiding out...

A Bald Eagle
perched on Eagle Reef...

Eagle Glacier...

My father in law says this is a one-of-a-kind
glacial granite boulder on Aaron Island... 

Couldn't resist capturing a shot
of this stately Ford Dump Truck parked
in the uplands of Tee Harbor
before heading home for the day...

July 4, 2012: Proud to be an American...

Glorious 

"Independence Day"

I hope each and everyone of you have a safe and wonderful

day celebrating with family and friends...

April 29, 2012: Rainy Day Beauty Found in Juneau, Alaska...

April 29, 2012:

Yes, even in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska

we can find beauty on this blustery spring day in Juneau
~ believe it or not this is when the 'greenery' starts to appear...

The water droplets are like diamonds 
on the boughs of the evergreen trees
during a gentle breeze after a recent downpour...

Unexpected freshly fallen snow 
as viewed through the clouds
on the mountain to the north this spring day...

December 2010: Our Christmas spirit is in full swing...

This is credit to my husband who thoroughly 

enjoys decorating the outdoors 

~ I must say he did one spectacular job again this year ~

A large rhody next to the entry way
in the front yard...

A huge shrub to the right of the front yard...

A front yard view of the blue LED
lights strewn along the eaves...

Max's pride and joy is his infamous
jack pine he planted with a buddy
several years ago in the front yard...

 Of course, he does insist on the
fine details, such as
highlighting the garage door...

A shot of the overall look, with my
small black spruce tree we planted a couple of years ago
in the middle forefront as well... 

Enjoy preparing for the upcoming holiday everyone,
and may you all be blessed with lots of love
throughout this happy season!

November 2010: Our Joyous Thanksgiving Holiday...

We had a wonderful 2010 Thanksgiving family 
get-together...

It was snowing heavily when we headed 

out for our Thanksgiving gathering...

The homemade sweet potato casserole was fantastic...

This was the moistest and most succulent turkey 

that was prepared to perfection..

Needless to say the stuffing was "the bomb"...

A mouth-watering Waldorf Salad...

After giving thanks, then feasting,
we all went outside to enjoy the
blazing fire pit in the backyard and swap family memories,
which generated much laughter by all ~
it was 32 degrees out
but the fire ensured that we all remained cozy and warm...
Ahhh, until next year all ~ be healthy, stay safe,
and forever be thankful,
including helping those in need when you're able!
