GRAMMIE SUZAN. 10,092 miles by air from Naples, FL to Kenai, AK and back again. 17 days in Alaska provided me with abundant family adventure time and many volumes worth of stories. The poet in me begs for the most descriptive stories using the fewest words.

Alaska haiku

Interspersed with some pictures

Good choice for my trip

Funny Granddaughter

With a cantaloupe headband

At the Kenai Airport

Children grow up fast

In the Visitor’s Center

As big as a fish

Dark sands Kenai Beach

Castles, agates, lupine, gulls

Tide coming in fast

Fishing, not catching

Enjoying the Lake of Fish

Float planes and loon

Searching everywhere

Finally Alaska moose

Come out of hiding

Homer, Alaska

Savoring the Bakery

And colorful art

Fog on the mountains

Across The Bay Tent and Breakfast

Steely gray ocean

Our tent so cozy

Kayak shed, glass gazebo

Home for next four days

Kayak adventure

Paddle through Kachemak Bay

Porpoise, otters, seals

Alone with paddle

Sea otter comes to witness

This new visitor

Under eagled cliffs

A family raft of kayaks

On Herring Islands

Our next Adventure

Flies us over glaciers

With Smokey Bay Air

Seward, Alaska

The happening place to be

On 4^th of July

Hello Tufted Puffin

Alaska Sea Life Center

Seeing eye to eye

At Exit Glacier

We reminisce trips of old

Fields of bright blue ice

Fields of iris, trees of eagles, love and togetherness
