Day 159, June 8th, part 1

Thursday, June 22, 2017

This is Thursday, so we are headed to Tracy Arm, a long fjord with a glacier or two at the end. But first, lots of beautiful scenery and a somewhat cloudy sunrise… A Pacific Loon. A closer view… Our first whale sighting!  But still a long ways away.  It will be for today… Gulls on […]

Day 158, June 7th

Thursday, June 22, 2017

  The first thing to see when you approach Ketchikan is the US Coast Guard, including a ship big enough for a permanently emplaced deck gun. The Dorothea, an interesting look vessel. Ketchikan Harbor and the Dailylife Wife! A three photo panorama of the Ketchikan Cruise Ship dock and all of the diamond merchants across […]

Day 157, June

Thursday, June 22, 2017

A day at sea.  This a general map showing our destinations: Ketchikan, Tracy Arm, Anchorage, with a few others thrown in: Juneau, Icy Straight, Homer, Kodiak, Hubbard Glacier, and Victoria.  This is from the in-stateroom television.  It has a limited selection, but one of the channels is ship and trip stats like this. We are […]

Day 156, June 6th

Thursday, June 22, 2017

The nerve racking drive to the Port!  And a raised drawbridge.  Okay, it was only nerve-racking because I wasn’t the one driving in such heavy traffic.  The crack across the less-than-two-week-old windshield is compliments of some driver on the Interstate. Up the Alaskan Way along Seattle’s waterfront.  A two cellphone photo panorama!  Click twice to […]

Day 155

Thursday, June 22, 2017

I was waiting for our 14 day Alaskan Cruise to start and began to play around with my latest lens, the Rokinon 12mm f2.0 the Dailylife Wife got me for Christmas. While an outstanding lens for Star photos, which it the main reason I wanted it, this lens is completely manual and does not have […]

Day 123

Tuesday, May 2, 2017

A loverly bunch of flowers in downtown Sedona! A quick lunch of pretty good Nachos (with extra sour cream)! And a special five (six?) photo panorama of downtown Sedona for our Friends Robyn and Walter.  Despite there being a fair bit of traffic we got a parking spot right up front!  We are the blue […]

Day 121

Tuesday, May 2, 2017

After we left the Grand Canyon we traveled to Sedona.  This is a great little town surrounded by fantastic red cliffs.  Here is the Dailylife Wife talking desert flower photos. This is an example of why you shouldn’t let other people take your photo…{!-{P  It is a great artisan bakery cafe we just love in […]

Day 119

Sunday, April 30, 2017

Happy Birthday to ME!  59 long ones, too…{!-{P I did wake up near a pretty nice spot, Bryce Canyon National Park. The weather was sunny, but there was a spot of fresh snow on the ground.  And other places! And I shared the Day with the well bundled Dailylife Wife! ~Curtis overlooking the Canyon (the […]
