Some photos of our Alaskan summer

You can vaguely see the oil terminal across the bay in Valdez. It was quite a site to see. We drove as close as we could but didn't take any photos.


Jim and I took a short hike at Sheep Mountain. It was such a beautiful day for a drive and hike.
We went to Valdez Glacier, it was foggy and erie but I wanted to touch the ice but didn't want to bend over I decided to at least touch it with my foot. :)
Here you can see the sea lions dining on the pink salmon at a dammed up area in Valdez. The seals were on the outskirts waiting for their turn.
With the fog lying so low in the bay, I couldn't help but try and capture some of the eerie scenes in Valdez.



Jim walking on the Thunderbird Falls trail--about a mile in from the trail head. Very gentle for the most part.
