North to Alaska, Go North The Rush is On

Sorry for the hiatus (isn't that my favorite line lately?), but I started working and have been busy job training and getting into the swing of my new life.  But, I've realized I haven't shared my Alaska pictures! I have so many that I am splitting it up into pictures of Alaska and pictures from Canada. Also, none of these pictures were photoshopped or touched up--it was really this beautiful!

Mom and I by the line for Bingo--it was one of the most crowded events on the ship...

Salmon swimming upstream

A momma brown bear going upstream for her salmon dinner

This is without any zoom--this momma bear came within 5 feet of us...amazing.

Tracy Arm Fjord glacier. This picture hasn't been edited/photoshopped in any way

Icebergs. Again, this hasn't been photoshopped/edited in any way (it was really that grey and that blue).

Another iceberg as we were leaving the Tracy Arm Fjord

We couldn't get over how neon blue the icebergs were

These pictures are amazing! I can't believe how blue the glaciers are. Looks like a great trip.

Those pictures are just gorgeous. I would love to go to Alaska. We were doing to take an Alaskan Cruise for our honeymoon this October but it was too late in the year.
