Alaska Part IV

Time for a couple more pictures than usual. The first one is of a bald eagle that was perched in a spruce along the side of the road in Seward. It was a little too far to be captured with my lens, so Jenny held the binoculars so that I could zoom in a little closer. This is the best that I could do - still a little fuzzy.



This is our first moose in Seward. We were heading back to our room after a short trip to a beach. Across the street from the Safeway this young guy was just chillin' between the tracks.



The next day we saw another at the end of the road that our B&B was on. This one was enjoying a mid-afternoon snack along a creek that had overflowed its banks. She was not being very cooperative. Every time I tried to get the picture, she moved to have her backside pointing at me - not her best side! We were pretty close (but safe in the car) and could see that she was still pretty young. (I like to think that I'm the moose expert in the family and since she was small, she was young.)



Ever wonder what the harbor/marina in Seward looks like? (What's the difference?) Well wonder no longer. Here it is, my friends. (There's more of it, but that part is boring - boats and stuff.)



Ever wonder what Jenny does while I'm taking all of these fantastic photos? Well wonder no longer, my friends! She looks the other way contemplating life (or reading a magazine).

This is on the breakwater for the Seward harbor/marina. The darker clouds are outside of the fjord where the glacier cruise would have gone if it had gone. Since it did go...



...we headed to Exit Glacier. Unfortunately it was still very snowy and the road to the visitor center was closed. However, we were able to get some views of the glacier, just not up close. If you can't find the glacier in the picture, look for the snow in the middle. Still can't? There appears to be a "V" in between the hills on both sides of the picture. The "V" is cravases on the glacier.



I hope you have enjoyed this weekend's post. More to come!
