Colors of Alaska

Here are some of the Colors that Alaska has to offer!  These were taken at the gardens in downtown Anchorage.  The flowers are HUGE!!  My thinking is they are so big because they have such long days with sunlight, which lets the plants get bigger??? 
Anywho, I love all the vibrant colors! Enjoy!

Okay, you photoshop junkies...See that little hair lookin string thingy?  How can I remove that in Photoshop Elements?  I tried the band-aid lookin button, but that just made a big mess.  I love this picture even with the weirdo stringy thing, but think I would love it even more if I could remove it. 

I love taking flower pictures!

Alaska Part 2.5~Jackson Portraits

While in Alaska, majority of my pictures are of this Sweet Little Man!  He loves the camera and the camera LOVES him!  Julie and I were out and about and we went to a 'Toddler Park', I think is what she called it.  Jackson loves the park, but most importantly loves the swing.  Here are some of the shots I got.  I also adore his little Superman Shirt!

 Remember about loving the swing?  He kept his eyes on it the whole time if it was in sight.  These little girls hogged the swing forever until finally Julie, kindly asked their mom if they would share.

 This swing still isn't good enough...

 Ohhh, Twigs!

 Gettin some protein...

 Yummy!

 And we've finally made it to the swing!

Mr. Jackson was 8.5 months old when I got to go visit.  I just love this little bundle of joy!

Alaska Part 2!!

I have been editing away on my crazy amounts of Alaska pictures!  I really can't believe I took so many...and so many are just duplicates.  But I have some really great keepers.  After this post I will be sharing some of the cutest pictures of all...you know of Mr. Jackson.  My number one picture taking fan!

So here we are, amongst one of the thousands Alaskan trails that you can find everywhere! What a beautiful water scene.

Peggy, Ken, Luke and I went King Salmon fishing along the river, somewhere past Willow, AK. It was absolutely perfect weather.  Thankfully for that, cause we never even got a bite!  Boo Hiss.  But it was glorious to be out on the water and enjoying the freshest air ever!

 On some places on the River, it was so clear and still. I love the reflection I was able to get.

 Our King Salmon bait--Pretty Hot Pink!

 We drove up/down (I don't remember my directions) to Seward for a Wildlife Day Cruise.  So amazing and more pictures to come from that soon.  But this was the Bay.

 Part of the itsy-bitsy town of Seward.

 On the cruise...somewhere on that mountain, there is a glacier.

Welp, there's Part 2, more to come soon!  And Julie, I promise I am getting those pictures on CD to you ASAP.
