Photographs - New Uploaded In July 2015

Yes, I know I should have uploaded these two months or more ago - but I didn't. So here they are to wish all my United States friends at FAA a happy 4th of July this year - and stylishly early for 2016.

Juniper Leaves - Shades of Green, Nature Photography

From my travels to Italy a few years ago, but I just re-discovered this image on my hard drive:

Although this scene could be from a modern cruise ship sailing almost anywhere in our world, I created it during my recent travels to Alaska. Many cruise ships will take you to our 49th state, however the season only lasts from May to September. This was my fourth cruise to the Last Frontier and once again we sailed with Princess Cruise Lines on a round-trip from Seattle. Their ships have a beautiful and covered outside deck on which you can walk completely around the entire ship. When the weather is nice like it was on this day, out on the deck is where I spend a lot of my time. Here I can breathe the fresh sea air, hear the sounds of the ocean and enjoy views way off to a distant horizon. It is so easy to relax and enjoy life when you are ... Just Cruising.
