Glacier Bay Part 3

It's kind of hard to see because there is nothing to give it scale, but in the middle of the photo is a glacier hanging off the side of the mountain.

Independence Day

For the Fourth of July I went downtown with Ellin (she works downtown and has a parking pass) to see the fireworks by the Washington Monument. I was warned not to take the Metro, and thank goodness I went with Ellin and stayed away from the Metro. As soon as the fireworks ended, the zillion people who were swarming downtown to watch the fireworks all made a beeline for the subway. It took us a while to get out of downtown, but it was way better than being underground with all those people.

Here are a few shots I took.

A Friday Afternoon

Since we had the day off last Friday due to the Holiday Weekend, Ellin and I went to visit a park near her house that turned out to have beautiful gardens. I only snapped a few photos because there were just too many pretty flowers to take pictures of them all.

Glacier Bay Part 1

I just finished going through all of my photos of Glacier Bay and there are 140 of them! Guess that means I don't have to worry about not having anything to post for a while. As you've likely noticed, I'm not good at culling photos. I like them all! In this case, I don't feel like trying to pick 10 photos out of 140.

So here are some photos from the morning cruising up into Glacier Bay . It was cold and grey, but still really pretty. Periodically along this stretch we would see whales (humpbacks), porpoises and otters but I didn't catch any of them on film.
