The Fog
A thick fog set in New York this morning, and when I got off the bus going to work, visibility was about 50 yards. Passing The Sphere in Battery Park I took this video.

Vacation Time
Headed to Florida for Easter so I'll be taking a break for a few days. Looking forward to 80 degrees and sunny. Oh don't be jealous!
I hope to be back blogging once I'm settled in down there.
As always, thanks for taking the time to check in!

Home Again
You take that last look, a deep breath and fill your lungs with fresh air and keep it with you.
Juneau to Seattle. Seattle to Phoenix. Phoenix to New York. Fifteen hours and you're home. But when you're finally in your bed, eyes closed, it is good to be home.

Shrine of St. Therese
In spite of each evening's forecast for the following day, the weather remains perfect. It rained in the early morning but cleared with the sun shining and a cool breeze.
Today we decided to take it easy, with a stroll downtown to do some souvenir shopping but in the late afternoon we went to the Shrine of St. Therese. What a wonderful hidden treasure.
I was thankful to have visited the chapel to personally show my appreciation for the good fortune.
Whales and Eagles
Some things can be overwhelming. And a place where just walking out the front door can fill you with quieting self awareness the awe inspiring sights can be exponential.
American Bald Eagles are a common sight, perched on trees or power-line towers, resting, observing and waiting for their next meal.
Yesterday we went to watch Humpback Whales feed in the waters off of Juneau, and boy did we see whales. At least six whales were feeding together in the same area, which is uncommon as they typically feed alone. The guide could only guess that the area was rich in food attracting them all.
I was able to get the short video of one near our boat.
On the way back, we passed an eagle perched on a buoy with a few sea lions basking in the sun at the base of the buoy.

Mendenhall Glacier
Today we visited Mendenhall Glacier where you can also see salmon spawning and black bears feasting on them. We didn't get to see any bears, but perhaps tomorrow, since it is about 10 minutes away, we will.

On The Road
Fifteen hours but we made it to Juneau. I'm too tired to explain the journey but I wanted to share this photo of Mt. Rainier. It was the view on the flight into Seattle. Click the thumbnail for a larger version.
