The purpose of this blog is not "beautiful photos" nor "ancestor photos," it is to share my "personal life"...in photos. Because "My Heritage is happening"... Hope you enjoy!


Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breathe away anonymous

Tree City USA in Juneau, Alaska


4 Years
Tree City USA
Arbor Day Foundation

(Certification has been granted for 4 years ~ You can read more about this here.)


Everything is soooo green...


Of course, I love it because there is a pond!
I love water, but not rain.


...and a fountain...


Well, no wonder things are so green, saw this sign as we were leaving...




 All photos here were taken from the Duck Tour Bus that I mentioned previously.

Trail in Ketchikan


On the Duck Tour heading out of the dock and shopping area...


See you later Shopping Capitol! See you later rainy weather, we 

are leaving you for awhile starting... 

NOW!

Right around the corner we happen upon...




Yep, Married Man's Trail!



Where we see a beautiful, calm river...


...which roars on the other side.

Did you notice the "Fish Ladder above?" Tough to miss it, right?


This water is moving!

What Trail

Rainy Ketchikan



After disembarking our ship, this is the brightest thing you see!




 Photo of the back of the Grand Princess, dark and rainy.



We decided to take the Ketchikan Duck Tour, being it was inside and dry. 

This is our bubbly tour guide. She really was bubbly, and a great tour guide!




Needs no words below, right?

Cruising in to Ketchikan, Alaska


Heading into our first port. Photos taken from the ship.




Loving the houses in the hills among such green trees.




 The dock, main road and colorful homes.




You can easily see the Visitor Information center.




Zoomed in on Ketchikan, down the way.




 Sockeye Sam's ~ Alaskan made gifts.

Ice Sculptors


Not one block of ice or sculptor...


...but two blocks and sculptors.


What are they carving?


A bird...


...and a fish!

Time to Quit Watching the Time!




Bye Bye Clock...we are on vacation!




Yes, on our Alaskan Cruise with Princess! (And no, not the granddaughter this time)




One of the deck areas.




We did check out the "Longest Drive Contest" but none of us won.




One of the pools on the ship.

Is the Golden Gate Golden?


Heading towards the Golden Gate Bridge.



Closer now, and the right side of the bridge.



Our cruise ship will be passing under the Golden Gate Bridge.


The first time I have ever been under the Golden Gate!


Have you ever seen under the bridge?

Pretty dang clean!


And the other side, with the sun shining brightly.

Cooling Down the Audience

This gentleman was in the audience, but apparently got tired of sitting there so...


off he went to cool down others!


It was VERY hot this day ~ in the 100's.


Have to admit, it felt wonderful!
