Just Wanted to Say Goodnight

Hello, it's me, Abby. Just wanted to check in and say goodnight. I had a nice long walk tonight and I'm very tired. I'll be dreaming of chasing rabbits pretty soon. See ya tomorrow.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my....... !

If you look real closely at this first picture, you can see something I never thought I'd be that close to without a zoo enclosure between us. It's a beautiful young male grizzly bear.



We came across this little fella on an excursion in Skagway, Alaska. We were on our way to a dog sledding excursion when the bus driver was informed that there was a grizzly bear between where the bus ride ended and the dog sledding began. We had to wait inside the bus until he finished his lunch of fresh salmon.



. . . And off he goes with a full belly.

Flowers of Alaska

This is just a brief glimps of the beautiful flowers we saw along our land tour of Alaska. I know they have a short growing season there, so that made it all the more special. I just had to take some photos to share.



Also wanted to leave an update on my weight loss journey. I've lost 11 pounds - I gained 2 on the trip but quickly lost it last week :) So 11 down, 39 to go!

Alaska - Unbelievable

This is only one of over 150 photos I took on our trip to Alaska. We were there for 12 days and each day we discovered more beautiful things about this wonderful state.

I will post more about the trip - just wanted to get this picture up to show the amazing Glacier Bay.
