"What do you want to do today?"..."Let's drive....and take pictures...constantly."

Well, we DID actually have a real estate related reason...but, anyhow yesterday we had a 16 hour excursion (which Alaska is so huge that...16 hours...is nothing!) which included the Denali Highway! A first for mom and I...even though we're Alaskans. =P

Here are a few quick pictures...I took over 900! (in my defense it's very easily done as the scenery and the wildlife are a photographer's dream!)
IT WAS AMAZING! Alaska is...incredible.

I have a lot I could say, and might say later, about the trip etc but,...gotta' run to a birthday party so, these pictures will have to speak for themselves. =)




When you're looking at scenes like this...it's crazy how many adjectives come to mind yet, you're speechless all at the same time.
Nothing I say can convey what you feel, what you see, what you smell, what you hear...
...there just aren't any words to describe a place so ethereal. Drat. I used a word.

God bless!

The photos are so beautiful they're almost painful! The first one's my favorite.

"Ethereal", "mesmerizing"

The pictures are absolutely incredible! I would love to live in Alaska or somewhere with lots of mountains. I live in North Carolina and it is SO flat here. I just love mountains and all of the beautiful scenery around them. Hope you have a beautiful summer! Oh, how long do your summers last? :)

Love In Christ,

Emily

P.S. I have been reading your blog for a few weeks but, I haven't shown myself. haha! I had been to your blog before but, it was about a year ago. I found yours through Meredith at Striving to Serve at Home. I love the Unknown Artist! You are so cheerful and happy! Your blog background says you all over. :) Although, I haven't ever met you. I'll be visiting your blog soon...

Great Pictures....When my husband and I lived in Anchorage we would grab coffee at Kaladi bros. and go on car rides for hours looking at the mountains and all the beautiful views. Enjoy those spectacular sights ~Thanks for sharing the pictures ~Blessings Heather ;-)

These pictures are beautiful Esther, I love that your in Alaska! I'm from Colorado, so I understand a bit about mountain beauty, but Colorado doesn't even compare I'm sure! I love your blog. Thanks for your sweet comment you left! I was excited to see it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE! You're all way too kind! I'm so glad you all like the pictures!

Emily: Thank you! You're a sweet heart! I've driven through NC...very pretty place too! But, I must agree...excluding a few places in certain states...the United States is sort of flat in comparison. =P Our summers are from June to August. =) It's been so nice the last month or so!!

Heather: LOVE Kaladi Bros! =D
