While in Juneau last month, we hiked a portion of the Perseverance Trail. There were waterfalls and aging abandoned mining remnants. It was neat. #mining #alaska #juneau #perseverancetrail #hiking

Collages from our Juneau trip last month. We stayed near the Whale, so we got lots of good photos of it. We tried a few cocktails at Amalga, and we got tacos from Deckhand Dave's, donuts from Jellyfish donuts, and a pizza from the Crystal Saloon. #jellyfishdonuts #amalga #deckhanddaves #juneau

Forbidden Peak Brewing was exceptional in every regard...from their kimchi lunch bowl, to their nitro coffee, to their delicious beers. #forbiddenpeakbrewing #kimchi #juneau #brewery #localbrews

We visited Juneau for a weekend in early Sept, and I really loved the little close up photos that I took to capture little moments of beauty. #mushrooms #caterpillar #bridge #juneau #closeups

These are from late August. Hatcher Pass is an easily accessible mountainous area where Alaskans love to recreate. #summerinalaska #hatcherpass #alaska #gettingoutside #freshair

Happy Caturday. This post is dedicated to one of the biggest snugglebugs I will ever know. He recently departed from our lives (old age). But he will always be my bestest beast. Love you, buddy. So much. #happycaturday #catsofbluesky #bestbud #kitty
