Images of God's Creation in Juneau, Alaska

Mendenhall Visitors Center

2008-02-15T14:03:00.000-09:00

I took this a year ago. My photos of Juneau may be few posted from now on, but I have also started a new photo blog here in the Texas Hill Country. Come visit sometime.

Ketchikan

2008-02-03T16:10:00.000-09:00

We moved from Juneau back in November, so I will no longer be posting photos of Juneau on a regular basis. However, I will try to occasionally post some of my photos of Juneau that I haven't posted before, as I have time.

These are photos of Ketchikan, one of our stopovers when we took the ferry from Juneau to Bellingham back in November.

Black Bear Sow and Cubs

2007-08-11T16:40:00.000-08:00

We went over to the glacier today, and were able to see the black bear sow and cubs. She ran down the stream, caught a sockeye, and then she and the two baby cubs ate it. She then caught another, and went under some trees. One cub is very black, the other more brown color.

2007-04-08T14:39:00.000-08:00

Its not looking much like spring here, but the snow is starting to melt. Took this pic a couple weeks ago downtown.

Another pic of the glacier

2007-03-31T11:14:00.000-08:00

Not too many people on the lake anymore, since the temps have been above freezing. The snow is slowly melting. Took this picture of Mendenhall Glacier last weekend.

Same Hummer, one week later

2007-03-18T13:06:00.000-08:00

The photo I posted yesterday was taken a week ago on 3/10. I took this updated photo on 3/17. We've been getting just a bit of snow. I heard we're having the snowiest March on record in Juneau.

Hummer for Sale

This Hummer, at a local dealership, was on the top of this snow hill at first, but is slowly being buried.

This was taken at the glacier on Tuesday about 3:20, looking towards the west. We had a fresh layer of snow, cold temperatures and a couple clear days.

Barrow's Goldeneye

2006-12-21T15:38:00.000-09:00

This is a Barrow's Goldeneye. I saw a few, at a distance, in the cove at the Shrine of St. Therese

Chapel by the Lake

2006-12-20T17:38:00.000-09:00

This is the old chapel by Auke Lake. I took this shot in November (with a few photoshop embellishments). The weather has been pretty dismal lately, so digging up older photos to post.

Winter cabin at Eagle River United Methodist Camp. (sorry I haven't had a photo in several days - my computer crashed and then having trouble logging into beta blogger.)

Eagle River

Took this photo of the Eagle River when we stayed at the Methodist camp last week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

School bus goes around the corner

2006-11-21T21:05:00.000-09:00

I love the snow on the rocky hillsides. Took this at Auke Bay as the school bus was rounding the curve.

Old and new

2006-11-20T16:04:00.000-09:00

This photo was taken after our first snowfall, before the old truck had 2 feet of snow on top.

An Alaskan cottage

2006-11-19T21:37:00.000-09:00

All the houses look so cozy and warm with the recent thick blanket of snow on them.

Evening light

2006-11-17T13:05:00.000-09:00

Took this photo when there was only about 12-15 inches of snow on the ground, before it was 25+ inches.

Snow on the conifers

Icicle lights and icicles

Look what blew in

2006-11-14T13:00:00.000-09:00

We've had over 12" of snow since yesterday, and we are still under a snow storm warning.

I saw the (Northern) Lights

2006-11-10T23:47:00.000-09:00

After living here in Alaska for over a year, I finally saw the northern lights. Friday night brought a nice display of the the northern lights, mostly in shades of green (thats the only color I saw as I was freezing my toes and fingers off waiting patiently for the perfect shot). If you click on this first photo - in the enlarged version you should be able to see the Big Dipper perfectly.

The view from Safeway

2006-11-09T18:16:00.000-09:00

I'd venture to guess our Safeway parking lot has one of the best views in the country.

Winter wonderland

2006-11-08T09:53:00.000-09:00

Juneau has been transformed into a winter wonderland the last couple days. I'll take the white fluffy stuff any day over the wet rainy stuff. :)

Vote for Pedro

2006-11-07T18:17:00.000-09:00

I realize this is a terrible photo from a technique point of view, but its hard to get a decent shot while at the red light. Downtown there was a huge group of people with their political signs, and one lone unicyclist with a big "Vote for Pedro" sign. I thought it was too funny and had to snap a photo. It was around 4:30 so it was already very dark.

And yes I voted, but Pedro wasn't an option, and I forgot to write him in. :)

Coots swimming in a very diminishing water hole

2006-11-06T08:38:00.000-09:00

I was informed these are not ducks, but coots. Their water hole is getting smaller and smaller as they are surrounded by ice at Twin Lakes.

Full moon at sunrise

2006-11-05T14:52:00.000-09:00

Many times we aren't able to see the full moon, but with the stretch of clear days this last week, the moon has been easily visible. I took these photos this morning as the moon was setting over a very frozen Twin Lakes.

Halloween night

2006-11-01T15:28:00.000-09:00

Took this at the Juneau boat harbor last night. Thought it was cute.

But my kitty sure is cute, isn't he? :)

Another porcupine photo

2006-10-30T14:55:00.000-09:00

This young porcupine was munching away at the Glacier visitor center. He was totally oblivious to everyone taking his photo. Filed in wildlife.

Designs in nature

2006-10-29T22:06:00.000-09:00

With below freezing temps the last couple nights, we are seeing more ice. This looks to me like a horse with a crazy hair-doo. :)

Morning Light on the Chilkats

There are not as many bald eagles here in Juneau as during the summer, but I still see some occasionally. Shot this photo in the Lemon Creek area. Filed in birds.

Actually, this is the true color - grey sky and black raven silhouette.

Flower power

2006-10-17T21:29:00.000-08:00

I took this photo of a flower I grew in my flower bed. It was from a wild flower seed mix, and the one that did the best. I guess it is some type of daisy.

Totem

2006-10-16T18:06:00.000-08:00

This totem pole is out at Auke Rec. The vehicle drove into the picture, but I ended up liking this photo better than without the vehicle.
