The Ice Bird Challenge...

It is no secret who is a professional photographer in our family, so this post is not about that. But I did not realize the enormous difference between Chris' Navy camera and my point and shoot camera.

This picture is one I took at the Mendenhall Glacier, with a great camera. If you look in the near distance...you can see a small hunk of ice that looks very similar to a bird preparing to drink the refreshing glacier water. Cute huh?





Here's Chris' shot of the same ice bird, from the same place, but with his Navy camera.

There is not a lot to say but WOW.

I sure am glad Chris was there to really let us see the bird.

I think it is pretty cool.

Trying it again...

Ok- I am trying to get into posting on a blog again, but it is sort of silly because I have not told anyone that I have it. I am wanting to find interesting things to share before I start bragging about my awesome thoughts. Just kidding. But I do want to learn how to make it cool before I tell everyone.

I thought I would post pictures and tell stories of the cruise. At least, it will be fun to remember these things.

Here is Kelcey and I, at the park around the Mendenhall Glacier. The Hoopers, Dad, Mom, Chris, Eric and I took a hike after viewing the glacier. The trail we took was closed due to a bridge failure, and we risked our lives crossing this one...hoping that it was not the broken one. (Before this picture is when we really tested it). But in looking at this picture later, I thought, man, Kelcey and I really look alike. Kind of a fun thing to notice.
