What a Beautiful Day!

When your day starts at 4:30am I'll have to admit it's a bit difficult to get excited about going to work, but by 5:30am when the Alaska mountain range is visible from Anchorage your mood quickly lifts and you feel truly blessed to be awake and in a beautiful land.


Then as the sun emerges and you travel through the back country viewing glaciers and some of the color change of fall you again are in awe of the scenic masterpieces that surround you!


And finally after you drop off your guests and you travel along the train while watching an amazing sunset (again with the Alaska range in the background - and this is NOT a normal occurance) you know that you have just truly witnessed a BEAUTIFUL DAY!
The best part is that there were two beautiful clear days right in between about a week and a half of some clouds and rain - but just like my last post sometimes the weather is so similar to our own lifes, it's after we weather the storms that we appreciate the beauty around us. Unfortunately pictures will never do it justice but I'll still try to share the portraits of Alaska that I just love!

Those pics are awesome! Did you take those yourself? I'm so serious, you should enter them in a contest!

We miss you!
