Alaskan Cruise Day 4

ScreenHunter_15 Mar. 15 23.24 

OMGosh – you guys – we woke up to the photos below!!!! I was actually up at 6 am!!! We traveled down the Tracy Arms Fjord on our way to see a glacier. Now, being a Wisconsin girl, the thought of seeing more “snow” didn’t do much for me, and those of you in snowy country know what I mean! It took us quite a while to travel down this passage….but I was all over the ship taking photos, trying to get that perfect shot. Seeing all the icebergs floating around was incredibly beautiful and sooooo serene.

If you look at the bank of snow in the crevice at the far side of this photo – that's a glacier!!!

We were fortunate enough to have a narrator on board our ship during our journey down this Fjord.  He told us that the icebergs that were deep blue like the one below, are the ones that have fallen off the glacier most recently….stunning!

One of his quotes really stuck with me…I think it's really good advice for everyone…

"Never let your fears get in the way of your dreams."

There were waterfalls coming down off the mountain side everywhere!

And now for a TINY bit of stamping…here's a couple more gorgeous Open Sea cards from the display board in the hospitality room:

I ran into a little bit of internet trouble….well first of all, it was down a lot yesterday…and then when I went to load this post – I found out I only had 1 minute of my package left….oh NO!  My darling Hailey used up all the minutes on FaceBook!  Then I spent an hour getting the next post ready and my internet connection was lost and I lost all my work too!  So I'm posting this from Windows Live Writer…which may mess with the size of my photos…sorry!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing!!! Stunning pictures. I lived in Anchorage for 5 years and we used to climb glaciers…high enough to where the vehicles were little specs…not very smart to do..young and dumb! There are no mountains in Minnesota, so to see them in pictures…is truly a blessing: ) Thanks again for sharing, I am sure you had a fabulous time. Stampin’UP! is a great company to be associated with.
