Alaska's Wonders


We are here, Alaska!!
Al fin!

We have a few hundred more miles of driving so let's begin the filling--
filling of our eyes and souls with the wonders only you can give.


A river still covered with a lot of ice even though it was mid-June,
(This made Jack a bit nervous.)


A large grizzly walking briskly within feet of our car windows,



A bull moose dripping with plants from the bottom of a pond as he eats his grassy dinner
and calmly surveys us parked close to him,



Mountain vistas that go on for miles and miles with no end in sight,


A casual and well-fed black bear so close that we can hear
munching sounds as he enjoys the flowers along the roadway.
Let the summer of wonders begin!!!!
