Sharing a few photos taken today in my Juneau Alaska front yard,
it's a super early spring this year!
My crazy-huge rhody, lovely lilac bush and precious salmon berry blossoms...
Photographs of SE Alaska outdoors. Plus, sister sites "Sandra's Alaska Recipes" - http://sandrarecipeblogsite.blogspot.com/ and "Sandra's Artistry Alaska" retail site - http://sandraartistryalaska.com/...
