I found this beautiful scene in Skagway. It was such a clear, crisp day in June. I'm not used to seeing snow that time of year so this was a refreshing change. The temperature high during the day was around 58 degrees F - also a first. I'm used to our "June Gloom" but even with no sun shining, it's still much, much warmer than that. I've never worn a jacket and scarf in June before.

ReplyDeleteBeing able to paint your memories like this must make them so much more meaningful.
Yes Deborah, it really brings me back to the time we spent there.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply breathtaking, Nancy! Truly beautiful work! Alaska is definitely a place I hope to some day visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. It pales in comparison to the real thing. I hope you are able to see it someday.
ReplyDeleteI was never in Alaska but my daughter was and she still talks about the beauty! I love the light hitting those wonderful mountains and the colors you used, Nancy!!
