Watery Wednesday,,

These a few of my pic's from a cruise to Alaska we took a few years ago. LOL, we saw a lot of water on the cruise and I thought it would be appropriate for Watery Wednesday. Our cruise included cruising Glacier Bay which is a national park, Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan. While cruising the Glacier Bay a park naturalist boarded our cruiseship to talk with the passengers and answer any questions.


Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska



When we reached Juneau my son and I took a city tour which included the Meadenhall Glacier, a Salmon fishery, and a neat garden. The Meadenhall Glacier was wonderful and you can see signs of the glacier melting and receeding. A section of the glacier looked like a waterfall. I am not sure how often this happen but the whole time we were in Alaska the temps were in the 90's.  We had great weather.


The Meadenhall Glacier







This Eagle greeted us at the Juneau pier when our ship docked, I think it knew I was coming and that I love Eagles.

Thanks for looking at my pictures and my blog. A special thanks to the hosts who put Watery Wednesday together for all of us to enjoy.

  5. It's looks like you had good weather for your cruise too! When my family and I were in Juneau it rained up until like 6:00, but then we were able to go up on top of Mt. Roberts. It was so beautiful!

  8. How beautiful your pictures are. We have been thinking of a cruise to Alaska.....I just think I would enjoy someplace that gets over 90 degrees better, but Hubs likes it cooler than I do so who knows...

  11. Ooooh, I like these scenes. Alaska! I think I would rather visit a cold country than one that was too hot!

  12. Oh beautiful! Alaska is such a big white blank space on our map of states where we've been. We really want to go there, not sure if we want to go on a cruise or try to take the RV. Hope we can do it one way or the other sometime.

    Meantime, your pictures are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
