  • Lost and Found: Denali Park, Alaska

    My daughter Amelia packed up and left last weekend for Montreal after 6 weeks in Edmonton.

    One of the losses she be moaned was a roll of film taken on her June trip to Alaska....

    well cleaning up her room I found and developed the film to discover some stunning photos of Alaska. This included time with the same friends Sam and Gretchen mentioned in my previous post.

    Canoeing,
    discovering wildlife ( use your judgement on who the wild one is here )

    was most impressed with these shots of Mount McKinley
    in mid-day  and 1:30 in the morning, on summer solstice. !!!!

    This is what I found if you want more info....

    "Denali is just as beautiful as it is dangerous. In the heart of Alaska, rising more than 20,000 feet from sealevel. Denali (The High One) is the Native (Athabascan) American word for North America's highest peak, Mount McKinley in the mountain chain called the Alaska Range...."

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
