This was taken at 10:30 pm on my way to the airport. It was pretty spectacular.

    

This is Peggy the booze pusher.

Another beautiful day at the docks.

The airport.

Mentally preparing myself for the day. I thought I'd start with smiling.

    

A bear had a feast last night at the lodge and this is the mess he left me.

Dogwood ground cover. Definitely bringing some of this home with me.

The clouds are leaving. Yay!

The sun is returning tomorrow.

I think I'm starting to make myself at home here. Not just at the lodge, but at home in Sitka. It's hard being away from the people I love, but I felt right about being here today. If I could just get everyone I loved here...

On the deck tonight after diner. I wished this group were staying.

Linda bringing in the boys. This woman could out fish anyone.

   

Picking the boys up at the docks. Loved these guys.

Beautiful

    

I think napping is the answer.

I think I may walk around with this look on my face a lot and that isn't good for anybody. Some days i just need a attitude adjustment!

When I saw this boat this morning I imagined myself floating out there in all the beauty. I think I would like to own a boat.

During our walk we look for heart rocks on the beach.

    

On our walk at totem pole park this morning.

We feel wacked out like this at times. I guess I'm a wuss when it comes to working long hours. Who can't handle 15 hrs a day for 20 days in a row?

Eagles.

Yay for bears!

Good Morning Sitka!

I just really enjoyed this.

Another beautiful night.

    

Here with John at the ferry terminal.  He's one of our guests at the lodge and has been a joy to be around.  He's going to Juneau for a few days and I wanted to share him here on my blog.  

Beautiful cedar tree.

This is Peggy luring eagles in with roast beef and ham. She thought if she built it, they would come, but they didn't.

It was a good day, a beautiful day here. Everything went smooth with the guests. I think we're all pretty happy this evening. Peggy made a great dinner and now it's sleepy time. Up at 4am to get them ready for there fishing trip. I took pictures tonight while on my walk. It's so pretty.

Just me trying to take a decent picture of myself and of course it's blurry. I've just decided to accept it and keep blogging along.

Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My!

    "Fortress of the Bears".   A place they rescue and raise abandoned cubs.  

     These guys we're big and beautiful, but their limited space to roam

     was not.  

I thought I was recording this whale yesterday, but when I came back to the lodge that evening to watch it I realized I only thought my phone was on record. Can't tell you how disappointed I was. I'll know better next time. This is a blurry pic I did get. Double disappointment!!

Today was our last day of deep cleaning and we are all pooped! Linda shows Peggy how to hold a a gun and it was hilarious. She showed me as we'll, but I'm not that brave to post the picture. If only I looked at cool as she does. Seriously, Im going to learn how to shoot.

    

       This is how we do windows around here.

  

        It takes a team to make sure we're all safe.

       

       You can imagine the laughter from me.

    Linda is a bad ass!

    Big Bear scat we saw own our walk this evening. 

    From the deck before our walk.

    

    Lovely!!!

What's up with these prices???

This was posted at a nearby coffee stand. It didn't deter me in anyway.

There were at least 50 eagles on this beach and in the trees. I've never seen anything like it. Too bad my pictures aren't awesome!
