| I love living in Southeast Alaska (Juneau the Capital, specifically), there's not many places even on a cloudy night that y'all are able to view the 'Man in the Moon' and capture a sight such as this, I'm blessed in so many ways... |
 |
| Captured at 9:30 a.m. from my backyard... |
 |
| Captured at 9:00 a.m. from my front yard... |
 |
| Captured through my kitchen window at 12:00 p.m. (yesterday)... |
 |
| Bald eagles soaring just above the evergreen trees on the mountaintop... |
 |
| Breathtaking... |
 |
| We'll be making this incredible Charcoal Grilled Red and White Salmon Fillets-Jamaican Style for dinner tonight for my brother in law (shown below)... |
 |
| Pod of sea lions offshore barking like crazy! We were told by a local (Skip) that these are not the typical species found in Yakutat (as those do not bark), but these instead migrated from California... |
 |
| They were actually quite aggressive... |
 |
| Brother Dan waiting for the BIG king salmon to bite... |
 |
| And, it did!! |
 |
| Husband Max and brother Larry were also lucky the next day fishing...nice king!! |
 |
| The largest weighed in at a whoppin' 36 lbs... |
 |
| Mount Saint Elias Mountain Range... |
 |
| Nice king salmon, looks like a white one... |
 |
| Cruzin' through Canoe Pass... |
 |
| Max and Larry's catch of the day... |
 |
| Lil' Miss Chelsey licked one of the king salmon so Max said she was worthy of posing in a photograph as well ~ LOL! |
 |
| I stayed behind while the guys were out fishing, and captured this photograph of Mount Saint Elias mid-day through my Mother's living room window (using a zoom lens, of course)... After the guys returned on Tuesday from fishing, Max and I went sightseeing prior to plane time out to Cannon Beach and came across numerous bald eagles along the way before reaching Tawa Bridge... |
 |
| Sunshine peaking through the evergreen trees with ice fog hovering above the roadway... |
 |
| There were coho present in the roadside creek, which these eagles must have been fishing for, as they're fanning their wings out to dry... |
 |
| This eagle appears to be a mature juvenile by the dark marking still on its crown... |
 |
| A juvenile... |
 |
| I absolutely fell in love with this character, he definitely had a picturesque attitude to behold... |
 |
| This was another bald eagle perched on a nearby snow bank that appeared to like his photograph taken ~ lucky me... |
 |
| Silly husband likes to take photographs of me capturing photographs... |
 |
| Mount Saint Elias, as viewed from Tawa Bridge... |
 |
| Told ya so...haha |
 |
| Husband Max captured a few stunning photographs as well... |
 |
| I capture this incredible shot of an area just before reaching Cannon Beach (near the 1st cannon)... |
 |
| Max taking in the breathtaking and powerful beauty Cannon Beach has to offer before heading down to the shoreline... |
 |
| Beach road to White Alice Site... |
 |
| Beach road to Lost River... |
 |
| Cannon Beach in all its incredible glory... |
 |
| One of the shelters above Cannon Beach, notice the ice fog above the snow top in the background... |
 |
| We happened upon additional bald eagles when returning to town... |
 |
| We quickly stopped by to visit with brother Master Carver - Fred Bemis - at his shop, although he wasn't home so we took it upon ourselves to check out his latest carving project in progress... |
 |
| Lo and behold, an amazing canoe... |
 |
| Cedar logs stored for carving... |
 |
| His new green dome... |
 |
| We drove though the village on our way to the Yakutat Boat Harbor... |
 |
| Of course, Max had to take a walk down to the harbor, just because... |
 |
| A couple locals clam digging... |
 |
| Once again, we returned through the village to head to my Mother's house, and then to the airport while the sun was beginning to set... |
 |
| Each and every place I have resided in has its own beauty, but my hometown of Yakutat will always have a special place in my heart as well as my husband Max's... |
