Sun Here, Sun There, Sun Everywhere

I almost forgot to send you all the picture of the official day of sunrise. It was really spectacular and what a day! Clear, windy and cold. It does look just a bit different from the pictures the day before. The sun is actually a round object and not a refracted orb on the horizon. Obviously, I've had too much time to obsess about this whole sun thing! So on to a pseudo travelogue.

Just can't help but share the pictures I took on a recent business trip to Juneau. How lucky am I? First of all, that a place as beautiful as Juneau is the destination of my conference is my good fortune. Secondly, we spent three days in a row in sunshine and fairly warm (okay, I thought 30 was blazing hot) weather. Having lived in Juneau for 18 years (or was it 14 and it just felt like 18?), I can tell you how rare three days without rain really are. My obligatory trip to the glacier netted this picture postcard. It was so crowded there, I couldn't get any place to park. Still amazed as we took off on the plane. Couldn't help shooting the tourist "air shot" out of the jet's window. It was just so fabulous to look at...and I was wishing the whole time that I had thought to bring my sunglasses. Who knew?
