Fall in Alaska and Canada

029
   It doesn’t last long , only a week or two , but for that short time the forests are a glow of gold and yellow aspens,birch and cottonwood against the dark green pines. Completely different from the slow turning , multicolored, hardwood fall  that we’re used to in the east but just as spectacular.
   Fall also brought an abrupt drop of ten degrees in  the temperature so we’re heading south – mostly through Canada but dropping down into the states as we get close to Pennsylvania. See all of you Pittsburghers in a month or so!  More pictures - https://picasaweb.google.com/tonyandkaren1/FallInAlaskaAndCanada?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Kenai Peninsula,Alaska

047
   Almost half of the population of Alaska lives in or near Anchorage so the Kenai Peninsula ,which juts out into the ocean just south of the city,gets a lot of visitors. This is the place to catch the big salmon that swim up the streams or take an ocean charter boat out for halibut. It’s also a good place to see glaciers and take a cruise to spot marine life.  We decided to skip that after getting so seasick the last time we tried it. : 0
