North to Alaska

This is a salmon hatchery in Juneau, Alaska. New hatchlings are released to the ocean where they grow up and, if not caught, return to where they were born to spawn their own young.
Then the cycle begins again.

Above and below are shots of Glacier Bay, a long, narrow inlet bay surrounded by glaciers.




Back in Auburn, Washington, where we visited before leaving for Alaska, let's add a shot of daughter-in-law Melissa, enjoying a rare resting moment on the backyard deck where we had dinner the night before sailing. It was great to see her, Charles and our three "northwest"
grandkids Catie, Noah and Annie (Juliana), and we're looking forward to our next visit at Christmas.
