Summer Flower Garden Showcase


Our summer flower garden is a mixture of perennials and annuals of brilliant colors.  It brightens up our little corner of the world and attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

Here are some close-up photographs of our garden flowers ~
Blackeyed Susan, Mexican Blanket, Coneflower, & Blue Pansies


 


 

Alaskan Adventure

Unforgetable memories from an amazing place ~


Beautiful snow capped mountain landscapes, wildflowers & glacial waterways



Wildlife encounters, like this cinnamon colored bear seen on route to the Yukon



Native cultures such as the Tlingit & Haida ~ Cape Fox Dancers


Energetic sled dogs that take part in the famous Iditarod race from Anchorage to Nome


And so much more ... Kevin and I made a shared dream come true visiting our 49th state.

 Alaska is such an incredible place of unspoiled wilderness, stretching in all directions as far as the eye can see.  We enjoyed flight seeing, horse back riding, and river raft adventures, scenic train rides, tours and hikes through Denali National Park and simply being amongst such natural beauty.  It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular adventure which we will always remember and cherish!
