Last Camping Weekend of the Season

I have been incredibly busy these days.  We did manage to squeeze in one more camping trip this season but now i'm in catch up mode.  I have a bunch of projects I intend to finish up sometime soon, but they keep getting pushed aside due to homework (yuck) and housework (double yuck). 

So in the mean time I have added pictures from our camping trip to my gallery.  We camped out in Thompson Pass at Bluberry Lake State Recreation Park which is located about 25 miles outside of Valdez, AK. The drive down was absolutely spectacular. We could not have asked for more beautiful, clear weather.  We got to hike up to the face of Worthington Glacier and eat at my favorite Chinese food restaurant,  Fu Kung.  Unfortunately the actual city of Valdez was in a pretty thick blanket of fog so we did not get to see Valdez Glacier this time down. But all in all it was a great end to camping season in Alaska for us.

Here are some of the shots I added to my gallery...

  

 

 

Photo Gallery: Updated

We had a great weekend 4-wheeling and camping.  The weather was perfect and the sky was so clear.  We saw the Milky Way, quite a few shooting stars, more satellites than we could keep track of, and the northern lights.  I also tried grouse for the first time.  Tasty but they are tiny little buggers, you'd have to eat 10 just to get full.  Hopefully the weather holds out and we can get one last trip this coming weekend. 

But for now its back to the normal routine...school, housework, and projects.  I have a few projects I'll be working on this week. However, I don't have anything ready for today. But in the mean time, I have gotten a few good shots over the past few weeks and I have finally had a chance to add them to my Photo Gallery, so check 'em out:~) Here are a few...

 

 

 

Shutter Love - Outtakes & Bloopers

This weeks theme is Outtake & Bloopers. 

Over the lovely long weekend My hubby and I went 4-wheeling/camping with a friend.  While sitting around the campfire I decided to play around with my camera a bit.  I set my camera on a log and took some long exposure photos of the campfire. During one of the shots I bumped my camera by accident and this is what I got.....

 

Not quite what I was going for...but kinda neat non the less.  Here are a few that actually turned out.
