Linda's eagle eyes spotted this treat in a tree next to the waterfront
Yep, an eagle!
When we first arrived a thick layer of fog obscured the Resurrection Bay view, but as it lifted I was treated to this amazing view.
We had a delicious lunch, wandered a bit and resumed the drive back to Anchorage. Linda pointed out the hauntingly beautiful ghost trees. A result of the salt water tsunami of the 1964 earthquake which had killed the trees but left them standing.
We did spot a Dall sheep, but without my proper zoom lens it was a speck on the mountainside, next time I'll bring the grown up camera.
But I did think you might appreciate this stunning vista.
What a day!
On Wednesday I was able to finish my final Beadwork Designer of the Year project which will be in the December issue. Suffice it to say, I love it. Simple yet elegant, I've been wearing it ever since. I'm actually ahead of the June 12th deadline, so I get to enjoy it for awhile. When I get home to my proper camera I'll give you a sneak peek.

What beautiful scenery! Your pictures are making the one more week till my cruise that much harder to bear :o) But, I am glad you are having a great time and getting out to see the sights!
I know so well of what you write. I'm happy for you to be enjoying Alaska.

What beautiful photos I cannot imagine just how beautiful Alaska is - maybe someday I will see it!
Can't wait for a sneak peek of the December project!
