A spectacular mountaintop sunset

from our dining room window just now,

we are definitely blessed here in Juneau, Alaska!

Early October 2012:

Our splendid autumn in Juneau, Alaska...

While driving out to the Mendenhall Glacier
we came upon this baby porcupine
that sadly had an injured right front paw...

The infamous
Mendenhall Glacier...

A few photographs of a
spawned out Coho swimming...

Quite a few icebergs
floating in the waterway...

Another
spawned out Coho...

A bear, very recently, dug this area up
adjacent to the pathway...

We stopped by to visit my sister in law
and were lucky to capture a few ducks that are ever-present
swimming in her backyard lake...

We later stopped by to visit my brother in law
who was working in his shed when I spotted
an interesting mermaid float...

He and his wife also raise two
precious rabbits...Awe...

A late afternoon view overlooking
Statter Harbor in Auke Bay...

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...
