Alaska cruise 2010 - glaciers, green roses and totems
The waterfall to the right, and Mendenhall glacier (see that deep blue!) to the left.
The leaves were forming and created little green "roses". Also at Mendenhall glacier.
The totem poles are in Ketchikan. Alaska Cruise 2010 - Flora
We hiked outside of Juneau at the Mendenhall glacier. The flowers were pretty and the Alder trees were loaded with buds.
I just thought these leaves were pretty-- with their red-tinged edges. Monday, December 14, 2009
Autumn Leaves
Beautiful reds on the Paperbark maple in the backyard this year. We were able to save this tree through a temporary move when we built the garage in back. Looks like it loves its new spot! Saturday, August 22, 2009
New Mexico
I decided I've really been remiss on posting some of the scenic photos.
These were taken outside of Albuquerque when my son and I went down to check out University of New Mexico. It was a gorgeous evening. Sorry to say I don't remember the name of the hill we went to.

Lakedale Resort
So I have a thing about evening light. We stayed at Lakedale Resort
on San Juan Island for a few days earlier this week.
These are views from the Lake House-- we got in last minute since someone else cancelled. It worked out well for us! We had a very pleasant few days.
This last is from the hike up Young Hill from the parking lot at the English Camp. Wonderful view and interesting trees.

The Swifts at Chapman School
OK. I've not tried this before but I have some video (about 59MB) from watching the swifts at Chapman School in Portland, OR and its pretty cool. So going to try and upload it here! (I ended up loading it to YouTube), so here's that link:
This portion of the video captured the moment when they really start diving into the school's chimney. We also have another dramatic moment when a predator visits the scene. Its unedited and you can hear the crowd's reaction. Enjoy.
If you are interested in more about the swift's visit to Portland every fall, the Audubon Society has more info at their site.
