Tell Me a Story January 2019 - Blast from the Past

Alaska 2009/10

I recently found my old hard drive with pictures from my last full winter and summer in Alaska. I took these photos with the Casio I had at the time. 

Family clamming trip to Clam Gulch.

Mt Iliamna across Cook Inlet

 Due to the red tide clamming is no longer permitted in this area of Alaska :( 

Winter 2009/10

Moon rising over the Matanuska Valley (Wasilla)

I don't often miss living in the frigid North (Alaska), but I have to admit looking at these photos made me a little home sick. It wasn't all bad, just long, cold, dark winters, but eighteen years was enough.

November Around Hampton Roads

Million Bulb Walk

Norfolk Botanical Garden

Spent Thanksgiving evening enjoying the holiday light display at the Botanical Gardens. I was hoping the lights would turn out better, but it was far too cold and windy out to stand around in order to set up a nicer composition.  

I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. Head over to Sharleen's page more photos. 

Tell Me a Story October 2018

Maine/New Hampshire October 2018

On my trip to New Hampshire to visit my daughter in early October 

I was really hoping to see the infamous Fall foliage, but I missed it 

by a few weeks (maybe next year). Nonetheless I'm always grateful 

for the time I can spend with my family. 

  

Keeping with my love of exploring we took a day trip to 

Kennebunkport, ME one cloudy afternoon. We enjoyed lunch at 

Hurricane and dessert at Ben & Jerry's.

Nubble Lighthouse
Like a guardian Angel, the Lighthouse stands, sending out hope in the night.
Like a faithful friend reaching out a hand bringing comfort, truth and light. 

Bird wasn't afraid of a two year old.

Afternoon at the park

All about the sassiness

Grammy crouched down to get a picture so I must crouch down too. :)
