Day 353 - Bachelorette Buddy System

Celebrated with Camryn at her bachelorette party and we had these great glow in the dark jewels...we said we would use them to find each other or to tag the 'creepers' at the clubs...thankfully I didn't have any creepers that night :) 

Day 352 - It's A Girl!

For my Bestest Friend, Amy.  We had a baby shower for her and had yummilicious cupcakes to celebrate. 

Day 351 - Jumper!

This poor baby fell out of his nest and was hopping around the front yard.  Remi was very interested, but was able to contain herself and leave this little guy alone.  I couldn't find the nest to put him back in, but he made his way to my neighbors garden area, so we are crossing our fingers he's fine.

This is part of what I think of when I think of the beach. I love the beach!

Julie and I in Alaska.  We stopped on the side of the road and then we up a little trail and this is what we found.  They have trails all over the place up there. 

Day 332 - Atop the Mountain

Alyeska Resort and Mountain top with Peggy.  So glorious! 

Day 331 - Mt. McKinley!

One of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen!  We are at Earthquake Park in this picture, which is about 4-5 hours away from Denali National Park where Mt. McKinley is!! 

Day 330 - Northern Lights from the Plane!

Day 329 - Remi's Picnic

Day 328 - Little Friend

A teeninesy little spider, this is with the reverse Macro lens.

Day 326 - A long Road

Where is your road taking you? 

Day 325 - Country Sunset

I'm not really in the county...just across from my neighborhood...but it looks like the country to me! 

Day 324 - I HEART YOU!

One of the leaves from a plant I have on the patio, taken with reverse Macro lens.  

Day 323 - Pansies!

Before Mike finally pulled them!  We had them forever, they never died, even in the massive snow storm we had.  In fact they looked so much better than when we planted them. I wouldn't let Mike pull them for a long time and he said we were gonna be the only people in town still with pansies.   

Whew!  Almost have them all up and going!!  I have started to create my 365 digital book.  It won't be here by my birthday,which is fine, I'm just so excited to see it when it is done.  Thanks for following along!  Hopefully will have the last 15 or so up soon!

Alaska Part 1

Yay!!  I'm so excited to get some of these up!!  I took around 2000...yes 2000...pictures!!  I ONLY downloaded about 1500-I think.  So I have finally found the time to edit some and post'em.  I hope you enjoy.  I have so enjoyed going back through my pictures and being in AWE at the beauty that Alaska has.  If you've never been, it needs to be on your list of places to visit. 

I went to Anchorage to visit my best friend from college, Julie and her family, Luke and Jackson.  Julie's parents were also there, they live in North Carolina, so it was so great to get to spend time with them too. 

These pictures are the first day and some of the second.

On the plane...do you know what this is??  Its the aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights!! Isn't that cool!!  I was so psyched when I planned the trip that I thought I might get to see them...in reality though....I didn't even know I saw them till I got the picture on the computer!!  Can you believe that!  This is probably somewhere over Canada on our LONG LONG Flight. It started completely dark and got lighter and lighter the closer to Alaska we got. By the time I got to Alaska around 1:30 their time, it looked like dusk or 9:00 Oklahoma time.

On the plane I also got to sit next to a real Eskimo!

We went to Earthquake Park the first day.  We saw Mt. McKinley (20,320 feet) from here!!  Mt. McKinley, is in Denali National Park and is about four-five hours away from Anchorage and you can still see how massive the Mountain is.  It is glorious! The 'smaller' one is Mt. Hudson (14,573 feet) and then the one on the far right is Mt. Foraker (17,400 feet).  Amazing!!

Mt. McKinley again.

On the trail in Earthquake Park.

One of my favorite shots.

Me and Julie

Jackson and Julie

We saw 5 moose while I was there...they just walk around town, and its a completely normal thing!  These two are young and we don't know where Momma Moose is.  Moose lose there antlers every year and then grow them back in the spring.

I don't know what Mt. range this is...just beauty though!

This was odd...look carefully, what do you see?

It's a car that's been buried on this beach!  We don't know if it came over the bluff or what, but it's upside down and shows the seat belts, wires, muffler, tires!  Crazy!

Our 2nd Day, we went to Girdwood.  We drove down the 1st or 2nd most beautiful highway in the nation!  This is Seward Highway, I think it ranks 1st or 2nd with Pacific Coast Highway in California.  Tough call, but both stunning!

We went to Girdwood on the second day and went to Alyeska Resort, where we went up the mountain on the tram.  So fun!  Alyeska Resort was so pretty and the really fun part...we saw some O-State Fans!!

One the Mountain, it was the last day for skiing.

Me and Peggy

We were really hoping to see a bear...this was the closet I came to one.  Julie and Luke have Bear Spray though...I so meant to take a picture of it...and somehow in all my 2000 pictures, I never did!

Still on the Seward Highway.  If you can see all the lines....those are from the drilling where they blasted the side of the Mountain to create the highway.

So many pretty waterfall along the highway.

And here are to the end of Part 1.  I have so so so many more pictures to process and then I will post some more.  Hope you enjoyed!
