But I wanted it to be sunshiney so I photoshopped

which one's nicer?

Anyway as we say in Alaska..

"Holy carp Milk is how much?"

later

The second one is better in my opinion.

[littleflower+JMJ]

lol those are great pics! one of my friends wants to teach in alaska. it certainly looks beautiful!

[shortnun]

I say the photoshopped is cooler!

[homeschoolmom]

That one of you and the eagle is great!

I'll be sure to tell HSson about the velociraptor... I'm pretty sure he claims to have seen one dead on the side of the road once.

[Lil Red]

the un-photoshopped one is better

[Sojourner]

That was really great you got the eagle to agree to pose with you! You look very handsome out there in the wild.

[homeschoolmom]

Next time ask the velociraptor to pose with you. Now that's a photo op.

[IcePrincessKRS]

Awesome pics... I like the photoshopped image... but knowing it's photoshopped sort of takes away from it... so I have to go with Red on this one, I like the original, knowing that thats what it really looks like.

That's true, that would be pretty cool.

As long as he didn't eat you.

I like the unphotoshopped one better. It looks more realistic. The other pictures are cool too. I especially like the one of you posing with the eagle.

[FutureIHMNJ]

The pictures are beautiful...thanks for sharing!!

[Tony]

These are cool.. I always thought it would be cool to be outside in the sun at like 2 AM .

[kateri05]

how much IS the milk?

[Jaime]

Hey all

I'm back from the Great Grey North! (Its always cloudy in Alaska) Here's a few more pretty cool shots

Here's a humpback whale breaching. Apparently that's incredibly rare up in Alaska. Its also quite the turn of luck to capture it. You gotta be pointed and focused in the right direction.

The next series is of Glacier Marjorie breaking off (or calving)

They make a huge cracking sound before they break off. Its pretty awesome

That's Betty Rubble


These are sea lions

Oh and all the guys who are considering priesthood, they are desparate for priests up in Alaska. We had Mass last Sunday with a priest that has to drive 5 hours one way each Sunday. One town near us has Mass once a month.
