View from the inter island ferry in Southeast Alaska. Tree covered islands are framed between horizontal rails. A cloudy sky makes up the third of the shot above the rail, and an emergency float ring braced to the wall makes up the bottom half of the frame.

A lovely birthday. Spent all day procrastinating by reading Starter Villain by @scalzi.com then sushi and the symphony with my favorite human (my 16 year old twerp).
Full symphony orchestra on stage, with audience silhouettes in the foreground.

A family of four were feasting in my yard for the better part of the afternoon.
Two deer feeding on shrubs with an upturned kayak and paddle in the foreground. A young deer stands between water conveyance options. Seems it couldn’t decide whether to canoe, kayak, or paddle board. A young deer helping itself to my flower boxes. A deer among yard foliage.

Shaman Island #scape.
#douglas #alaska #sea #eastcoastkin
Cloudy blue sky above a small island covered with conifers. A green mountain lurks behind it. When the tide is low enough a land bridge is uncovered and walking out becomes an option. You can get there from the outer point trail on Douglas Island, which is across the bridge from Juneau. You have to know the tides. If you linger too long swimming back or waiting for the waters to recede are the only options.

A path and sea view framed by trees. The gold of sunset penetrates a cloudy sky, and is reflected spectacularly in the water. Mountains in the distance complete the scene.
