Nautical Decay

This bike path followed the road, and since the weather was nice.. just chilly..we took the bikes for the only ride on our whole trip!


Rick held the bikes while I went off with the Camera.


Boat cemetary or junk yard.





There were curtains in the windows on this boat!








A castle???




Did you notice the beautiful mountains in the background on most of these pictures?

Two museums

The Islands and Oceans Visitors Center had quite a bit of land out to Cook Inlet.




At the Pratt Museum a Lynx.


Model of a Beluga Whale.


Painting of a Beaked Whale.

Picturesque Homer Spit and Homer

It was a rainy day.


The truck had been made into a play area for kids.


We did eat in the restaurant, but I ate these on the wharf.


An Avion... sort of.


However you can enjoy this beautiful place, do it!

Loved Homer, AK

Welcome to Homer, AK.


Beautiful! See the dark strip in the water on the left side of the picture? That's Homer Spit. Really neat place.


Very bright with the sun on the water. This is the Cook Inlet, and the boat route to Anchorage, AK. A few of these mountains are volcanoes, and one is currently somewhat active, lots of seismic activity. Mt Redoubt last erupted in 1989 and 1990. I've been watching this web-site: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/avoreport.php?view=update


This small "pond" sure gathers lots of fisherman, out on Homer Spit. Can't remember what they were catching...


Cleaning the fish.


As I was taking this picture of the seagulls feeding on the remains, the eagle flew into the picture!!! WOW!!!


And even if the previous picture was a seagull, it really did happen, and this IS an eagle!


Got him a second time!

Alaskan Vegetables

These were growing in a rest/viewing area along the road.

Along the road to Homer, AK

One of the many Russian Orthodox Churches in Alaska.

Reflections

We were driving along and I could see the neat reflections through the trees. So we stopped and found a path to get a bit closer. We didn't take too long in bear country!
