Alaskan Glaciers

Here are some more pictures of our Alaskan vacation! These are of the glaciers. Aren't they magnificent?



Do you see the cave area at the bottom of the glacier by the water? There is a waterfall formed from the ice melting inside the glacier.

The water was coming out so fast it was making a loud rumbling noise that you could hear way before you even got to the glacier.




Here is Kelly taking in the view from the balcony of our room on the ship.









The glaciers had the most brilliant color of blue stripes. I was amazed at how much dirt was on them though.









Seagulls were having a rest on top of one of the icebergs.


There were lots of icebergs floating in the bay. They were pieces of the glaciers that had fallen off.







Grampy and Kelly were having a great time exploring the ship. I think Kelly got a little tooo used to the excellent service on board !!
But even on vacation....there is a few things that still have to be done. Even Laundry!!!!






I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A PEACEFUL EVENING TONIGHT!!!

Cherries are done!

Unless my brother brings more over this weekend....cherries are done!
14 qts of frozen, 7 half pints cherry sauce (oh so yummy on ice cream), 13 half pints of cherry jelly and 2 qt. juice. I love how jellies sparkle in the light. LOL



Does anyone have any suggestions for the yellow squash? My daughter has a recipe for a casserole that is pretty good. This is the first year for growing these. I'll have to do some research on whether to can or freeze.

I promised a few pictures of Alaska from our vacation. These are the pics of the whales. They are so huge but still beautiful. We were told that they are having there babies at this time and they aren't as playful as they usually are. They were just skimming at the top of the water then you could watch there tail fin go under.
Absolutely amazing!!!!



And the Eagles were magnificent...oh and I can't forget the moose!


I took over 1000 pics and I will be posting some more. You just have to see the glaciers!!
Later...........Judy
