I’ve been away for awhile, taking my daughter back to college and visiting with family and friends back in the Midwest. While I had a great trip “outside,” it felt so good to be back, and so good to get back on the boat.
As you can see, I brought a little sunshine back with me.


After boating through a stretch of dense fog on Prince William Sound this past Sunday, we hit a big patch of beautiful, sunny weather. If you live in Alaska, you know that sunshine has been a rare commodity here this summer. With the days getting shorter, and winter looming in the not-too-far distance, this beautiful day was a very welcome change.


A bright, sunny day isn’t always the best for photography, however. I ended up with lots of shadowy faces and burned-out backgrounds. So, instead of trying to fight the brightness, I finally decided to work with it and try a few sun flare photos.


We’re hoping to have another month of boating, but the days are getting cooler and the leaves are already starting to change. We’ll just have to see what the weather has in store for us over the next few weeks.
I would love just a few more weekends of summer before the snow starts to fly!
