Juneau: Cruising the inside passage Pt 2
Our first port of call on the Alaska cruise is Juneau, capital of Alaska, geographically the largest city in the US and the first town to be founded due to the gold rush. Historical yet cosmopolitan, Juneau has great shopping and quality restaurants. After riding through town, we're off to view our first glacier, the awesome Mendenhall, one of the few you can drive to. We then experience an unforgetable wildlife cruise, encountering diving Humpback whales,close up, Stellar Sea Lions basking on a bellbuoy, harbour seals poping up like corks from the sea. Lots of great pictures and Alaska links. Please join me in this Alaska experience.

Vines - Part 4
I grow several vines on purpose and a few unwelcome ones bestowed by Mother Nature. One species starts out very shrub-like, another twines, some are annuals. Some thrive and bloom in shade and some will grow but not flower. There are also vines in my past and some that I hope will be in my future. My garden would be incomplete without the soft high notes of vines.

Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.
