Alaska wrap up.
Top to bottom, left to right: Flying into the near dusk of Anchorage at midnight. Walking to the wedding reception in Hope where we feasted on king crab legs and salmon and boogied all night to a good band out of Seattle (can't remember their name). Only a small part of the "library" of books at the house we stayed at in Hope. While driving back to Anchorage. Glacial creek south of Chickaloon. Birch bark covered woodshed in Chickaloon. Birch firewood at the house in Hope. The wedding site at Windy Point (coiincidentally, my parents spent that same evening, their 45th wedding anniverary, only a 2 hours' drive away in Anchorage). Fungus covered birch log at cabin in Chickaloon. Returning to the darkness of Kalispell at midnight.

I love your pics of AK. I lived in a mining camp in the bush one season and the scenery never failed to amaze me. In the 6 months I was there I saw all 4 seasons. It is truly a place like no other.

Thanks so much for the arm-chair tour of Alaska! I hope to get up to Shelly's Fun Knits real soon and buy some of her yarn! I plan a trip with two other bloggers I have never met in person, so it should be a lot of fun!

You truly have some of the most beautiful photography on the net. You have a real gift -- thank you for sharing it with us.

Never been to Alaska, so I'm assuming this was a gold mine claim...?
Second to wintrymix's praise for your photography. Of course the scenery helps, but your pictures are so wonderful. I've got one of your Alaska shots as my computer's background for a while, I could dream that I'm there too. Thanks for sharing.
And, man, you knit socks fast.

Enjoyed the memories brought back by your photos!-- I lived in AK for 18 months almost 10 years ago, and I still am in awe of the landscape, the flora and the fauna. Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful! Oh, heads up. There is an apron sew-a-long if you're into it. I have read in your blog that you like to sew. It's at baabonniebelle.blogspot.com

Gorgeous photos! I would love to visit Alaska someday. I joke with my husband about moving there, which seems so far away from Iowa. He gets job postings for positions up there on occassion.

Awesome posts. I never had the urge to go to Alaska before, but now I'm curious because your pictures are so beautiful.
