Not much time for photography these days, but always able to make time for family photos over the holidays! I won't spoil the whole session but here were a few from Thanksgiving, with my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece, dog and a partridge in a pear tree.

Hopefully I'll have some more free time soon, to share some more of the remaining Alaska trip photos. Here are a few shots as we were headed into the port at Ketchikan. This massive cross on someone's private property caught my attention, and I liked the reflections in the water. I also noticed this old lighthouse on a tiny island, on the other side of the inlet. If you zoom in, you can see a bald eagle perched on the top of the lighthouse!

I recently photographed a friend's wedding, so I had to put the rest of the Alaska trip photos on hold for a while, but hopefully I will be able to process the rest of them soon. In the meantime, here are some captures of large chunks of glacial ice to help you feel cool throughout the rest of this warm summer. 🥵🥴🧊

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 19 - Animals and Landscapes of Glacier Bay, June 1, 2025.

The beauty of Glacier Bay isn't merely found in the glaciers themselves, which are undeniably impressive, but also in the various mountains, forests and animals in the region. We saw mountain goats, eagles, otters and even a few whales throughout the inlets.

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 18 - Johns Hopkins Glacier, June 1, 2025.

This was the second glacier we were able to see in Glacier Bay. One of the most famous tidewater glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park, Johns Hopkins Glacier sits in the far northwestern corner of the bay, at the end of its namesake Johns Hopkins Inlet. In my opinion, this was the most beautiful and picturesque of all the glaciers we saw, because the location of Mount Orville and Mount Wilbur in the background really make a great composition. Johns Hopkins is 12 miles long, about 1 mile wide and is one of the few glaciers that is actually advancing, rather than shrinking! The ice front extends under sea level to a depth of about 200 feet 😲🥶

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 17 - Reid Glacier, June 1, 2025.
This was the first glacier we were able to see in Glacier Bay. You may not be able to tell from the photos, but Reid Glacier is around 11 miles long! We were able to see it from a few different angles, and while the ship has to maintain a respectable distance from all glaciers, with the zoom lens I rented, I was able to get some better details and a closer look at the glacial ice.

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 16 - Entering Glacier Bay, June 1, 2025.

There wasn't always much to see on the traveling days out on the Pacific coast, but these stormy skies definitely caught my eye early in the morning as we entered Glacier Bay. The waters were pristine and ice cold. It's amazing that these otters don't seem to mind!

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 15 - Carcross Desert and Bove Island - Yes, believe it or not, there is a desert in Alaska. The juxtaposition of the sand dunes and snowy mountain in the background made quite the contrast!

ALASKA CRUISE TRIP - PART 14 - Captures from Emerald Lake in Yukon, Canada.

Emerald Lake is notable for its intense green color. We traveled here via the South Klondike Highway from Skagway, Alaska. The color derives from light reflecting off white deposits of marl, a mixture of clay and calcium carbonate, at the bottom of the shallow waters.

The high concentration of calcium carbonate in the water here comes from limestone gravels eroded from the nearby mountains and deposited here many years ago by the glaciers of the past, according to geologists. They also say that glacial erosion was likely responsible for scooping out the shallow lakebed.
