We rain into rain about three miles south of home, and it rained from that point on, until we were halfway back home last night. To add insult to the rain-soaking, it was coming down at a good clip in Anchorage as we pulled into town. (grins) Just another day of cool summer weather - and given what we see on the weather map in the Lower 48, we'll take it!
A bit of the "ghost forest" - trees killed when submerged in the salt waters of Turnagain Arm during the 9.2 'quake in 1964
Still on the road (another view)
More of that Alaskan sunshine (ahem)
One view of the Seward marina
The Chugach, our excursion vessel
Underway in the mist & fog
Still raining
Fox Island appears from the fog
Arrival at the dining hall
Me, enjoying the fresh air & sunshine ... heh

Well... you can't say you didn't enjoy an authentic Alaskan summer day. :)
Well I am just going to have to quit reading this blog!
Everytime I do and you post sompin about Seward and the Kenai Penn which I recognize and would so love to come back I just can't take it!!
Sigh...Someday......Before I am dead!!
I too long for the day.....
Fox Islands....Mmm. Isn't that where they had that small swarm of eaerthquakes a week, week-and-a-half ago?
I could have told you it would rain as soon as you stepped on board a boat. That's been the rule for our trip so far. Sgaway, Valdez, Homer, Seward...at every Alaskan coastal stop. We get on board and it rains. (Well, except for the short Discovery Cruise in Fairbanks, but that's hardly coastal.)
We're in Whitehorse now and scheduled for a short river cruise tomorrow. Hope it don't rain.
Fox Island (the place) is not the Fox Islands (the group of small islands off the end of the Alaska Peninsula). But late June & all of July have been unusually cool & rainy.
At least, even when it is raining in Alaska, you have a nice view.
Amazing how lovely it is, even in the rain. Once again Great Pics!
Yes that girl of yours is quite a good photographer. Looked like a good cruise to me.
Can you believe what the idiot judge ruled on the AZ illegals case? I'm so bummed. Right now I'm watching Nightline and it's a report on the Texas border and the horrid problems they're having. I'm disgusted. G'Nite.
