Leaving Alaska

Amanda, Me and Ellen
 
One of these friends of Amanda's I had met the last time I was in Alaska, the other two I've "met" online since then.  Thank you, Bean, for the lovely lunch which you planned for us to all get together.  It was just wonderful.  Thank you Heidi, Ellen and Jan for inviting me to each of your homes and of course, meeting your families and furry children, I'm so glad I could before I left.  
Between Soldotna and Anchorage, again, too many photo ops!!

I know I'm not the only one in love with the beautiful turquoise-opal color of the glacial fed lakes and rivers. 
The moon over Turnagin Arm was the last shot I got before I left.     Diane
