I keep
trying to get over comparing unfavorably the way the mountains looked
mostly covered in snow than they do now, with most of the snow melted.
The varying shades and lushness of the green trees growing so far
up the mountainsides, then the interesting patterns and colorations
of the avalanche chutes are interesting, but I guess what I miss
about the snow cover is that is what screamed "Alaska"
to me - the snow made the surroundings look wilder and more untamed
somehow. The mountains seemed much more imposing and majestic covered
in cold crisp white than they do in lush flowing green. But their
beauty cannot be denied no matter what and we are still daily blessed
and thankful for what we are getting to witness.

It
didn't matter which way you looked, the beauty was inescapable.
We had to make several stops just to catch our breaths - this kind
of intense sensory input can make you dizzy!

I
especially loved the shades of blue - I'd never seen water this
color before, even in Hawaii.

We
always loved to see how the clouds hugged the mountaintops and provided
a never ending variety of views, each more beautiful than the next.
