Alaska: it's love/hate thing...

I love Alaska. I really do. But the weather has been awful lately and I feel like Alaska is testing my love...

The clouds decided to part for a day and we took advantage of that and went on a Sunday drive to Portage Valley and Alyeska.

I know, I know...feel bad for me that this is with in driving distance to my house. Like I said, it's a love-hate thing...

This is in Portage Valley...the glacier water is amazingly beautiful. 

I love weathered fences. I also love all flowers that grow in Alaska. I figure these flowers deserve my love if they are going to tough it out and keep coming back each summer. :)
