Shiny! The wheels are done and the chrome has been polished... Time to ride!

I think Bentley was bored of waiting for me to take pictures of all
the flowers, pretty leaves and lichen! In fact, she's bored right now
and won't stop whining about it!

Here's a group shot we posed for. We had Walt press the shutters on
TWO cameras and then run-- invariably if we both pressed our own
someone wasn't ready when the other pressed it! Doesn't Bentley look
tough in this picture?!

Can't get over those red/pink tipped leaves! And the texture on the
leaves on the right!

I watched him clumsily flap over to a nearby branch on the other side
of the fence... finally venturing out beyond my yard...

baby bird

Yesterday I found just one baby bird left in the yard (we had been
watching 2 on Saturday night). This guy finally made it to the top of
the fence but wasn't so sure what to do after that! Momma's been busy
bringing worms around to all her babies!

These wild sweet peas were blanketing the gravel bars along the
Richardson Highway. So pretty!

Sandhill cranes at Creamers Field in Fairbanks. Good use for my
"superzoom" lens!

we were standing on a glacier and the light was coming up through it--
it was glowing! So gorgeous! (BTW I'm not standing on her toe even
though it looks like it)

alpine wildflowers

We thought this plant smelled amazing! The leaves looked like
rosemary but the scent wasn't the same. This was almost lemon-y. I
looked it up today and it's Labrador Tea, which is used for teas and
herbal remedies.

Thompson Pass

Thompson Pass was spectacular, as usual. I have the best luck finding
good weather up there! (knock on wood!)

Bentley's a good hiker!

Worthington Glacier

We hiked up around Worthington Glacier. None of my other pictures
even come close to showing the scale of this. That's Walt (looking at
rocks) and see the 3 guys on the glacier?
