Welcome to Fall

September 23 is officially the first day of Fall. I say kick it off with an array of colors, birch leaves, and spruce cones.





I hope everyone has a beautiful Autumn!

Views to Alaska

I recently had the privilege to drive all the way from Montana to Fairbanks, Alaska with my parents. If you ever get the chance to take this drive...DO IT! We drove through Alberta, Jasper National Park, British Columbia, Dawson City, and Chicken, AK. Each part of the drive was gorgeous in its own way, offering views of neon flowers, lush trees, and gargantuan mountains. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the drive:
I had to post this low quality picture just because it was the first view. This is the border crossing from Montana into Alberta. Cross this if you are near it! The journey begins...

The first views we had were of amazing glaciers. They were scattered over the mountains like cracks in a sidewalk.
First there were glaciers and then there was greenery.

This is a dormant volcano we saw in the Yukon.


As we approached the border into Alaska, the landscape became high tundra.
All the fall colors were on display.



The closer you get to Fairbanks, the more tree filled expanses you see.
