Day 294: The Otters!

Monday, October 20, 2014

We passed a big raft of Otters.  I think they were trying to form a Conga line… The light was bad, but the otters were pretty good. I am not sure what Smiley is laughing about… Maybe it is Mom. One of them,anyway. She always said she wanted to come back as an Otter! “Nom, […]

Day 293: The Eagles!

Monday, October 20, 2014

Bald eagles abound in Alaska.  We saw all of these in about a one mile stretch over about 20 to 30 minutes… An immature Bald Eagle. Siblings and a parent.  I have never seen a Bald Eagle roost on the ground like that before. As I have mentioned previously, some of the salmon are running. […]

Day 292: Sitka! -or- Back to the Cruise!

Monday, October 20, 2014

An early morning approach to Sitka! (Not the most even of panoramas…Click to enlarge; BACK to return!) A view from Breakfast. Once again we had to tender in to reach the shore: there was not a dock that would fit our Amsterdam.  But this time, the operator for the Otters, Whales and Other Stuff tour […]

Day 289

Thursday, October 16, 2014

We spent a couple days in Moab, Utah, at Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, while on our way back from Albuquerque.  A high cloud cover moved in and the lighting was horrible.  Almost all of the sky was washed out, and I don’t want to photoshop one in. This is the Sun trying to creep […]
