In Alaska the waters are this unique green color due to the silt from Glaciers. This photo was taken from the train.

When we boarded the train in Skagway the clouds were very low and grey. But when we crossed into Canada, the summit of the mountain revealed a gorgeous blue sky! Yay!!

Recently, I took a raod trip to the Mississippi Delta to get emersed in the Delta Blues and the region. There is so much history in this area and most of it isn't the most honorable history that the U.S. has, but it shouldn't be forgotten. I was impressed with this trip and I selected a few photos to share.

Found this gate hiding in the brush. It was once burned, but not destroyed.

Aloha!

I decided to revive this blog today. I knew that I would get back to this one eventually; I just had to let some time go by. There were things that I needed to experience and things that I had to go for. Due to all of the events that were going on my got blog placed on the back burner.

This past year I had quite a few changes. There were plenty of opportunities to meet new people, while some friends move away and even a few friends got married. I got a job promotion that turned out to be something that I worked hard for and a gift. This past year confirmed that overall, I'm a strong person and that I have vulnerable areas too. It's good to be human.

The 4th of July is my marker for reflecting upon the previous years events. I though that it was fitting to start up the blog again right after that particular holiday.

I'll continue the tradition of sharing photos. So check back and there should be some new ones.
