Last of the Alaskan Vacation Photos

We have been to Victoria, BC, Canada before so this time we just went to Chinatown.

Beautiful hostas.
Double rainbow.

Back in Seattle.

Ready to go again? YES!

To Continue...

First, Happy Birthday to me! Can you guess how old I became on August 15?

(For Installment One of our Alaskan cruise, see the post on August 14.)

Now for photos I took during our small plane flight over the glaciers out of Skagway. The airplane, a Canadian-made Bush Hawk. One of many glaciers... An actively calving glacier. The sloughed off ice looked like a mosaic tile floor to me.

The Bahamas? Nope...
Above the clouds.



This was my second flight ever! I would do it every day if I had the chance...


Paul, owner of the airplane and our pilot...

We did see a bear...squint at the little black dot left of center.
...some mountain goats...
...and back in town more wildlife...
...and some gorgeous flowers...
