Sight seeing at 10,000 feet

Hey everyone!

I had the unexpected opportunity to take a flight over Soldotna AK and see some of the landscape! Here are a few pictures that I snapped while on board that little Cessna airplane!


The pilot calls his plane the "ugly duckling!"


Me, strapped into the harness with the headset on and ready for take off!



Shadow of the plane with the gorgeous mountains in the back ground.


Great shot of the Kenai river, which is still frozen in a lot of places. I caught this shot between propeller spins. ;-)

Again, the Kenai river that is actually free of ice. There are actually guys down there fishing!


This adventure was just breathtaking and a once in a life time opportunity! What a rush!

Pictures from Alaska

Hey everyone! Just stopping in to post a few pictures from Alaska.






Moose chomping away at the trees right out our hotel window.





Check out the mountains in the back ground.




It's been a mixed bag when it comes to the weather. The sun has been out the last two days trying to melt the record snowfall this year. It's gonna take a while!

Alaska Photo's

Greetings from Alaska! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure! The weather here is absolutely gorgeous! 60 Degree's and sunny! It's better here than back home!
This is the Kenai River in Soldotna. As you can see the ice is still melting - the locals here call this "break up". You can see little iceburgs floating and melting all over the place.

This picture is taken in Kenai, looking back towards Soldotna. Huge mountains overlooking all the fishing boats!

This is in Palmer, which is an hour away from Anchorage!



And this one is also in Palmer! All you could see today was miles of snow covered mountains! It was so clear and beautiful! Spring fever has hit up here - so many people out on motorcylces and bikes!

I did bring some stamping projects with me that I uploaded onto my flash drive that I will share with you all later! Until then - have a great day!
