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 Challenge: Woops!

The challenge for the week over at Mama and the Dudes is WOOPS! Everyone has those accidental shots stored away somewhere and now is the chance to use them for something.

This is actually one of my all time favorite photos.  I was outside goofing around with the dogs and just snapping away.  Tucker got in the way of one of my shots and this is how it turned out:~)

Here are a few more....

I didn't realize until after I took this picture that my camera was
focusing on the fence and not the chickens.  Thankfully I did realize
what was happening and corrected it, but I do kinda like the way this
one turned out.

This is another whale photo.  Well I guess its more of an after the
whale photo.  On another trip with my family we got to see humpbacks in
Valdez, AK. I wasn't quick enough with the camera and only managed to
catch the effect of the tail splash.
