Alaska
A country that fascinates me, inspires me.
Snow peaked mountains visible
From a lake side shore.
Wild salmon leap and fly
In crystal clear waters, as icy as those snowy peaks.
Grizzly bears amble to the stream
To catch their supper as they leap.
Eagles flying overhead,
Survey this scene below, watching
And waiting for left over scraps.
Trappers in furs silently stalk deer, elk and moose
Keeping watch around them in case,
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Killer whales are leaping and blowing
Jets of water up into the blue
Tourists picking up cameras in awe
Wanting a shot of a different type.
Vast landscapes and miles of
Uninhabited land
Make this country a giant of nature.
How I’d love to stand at the rail of a ship
And pick up my camera too.

Thanks for letting me know such a beauty.
I went on a two week "guided" tour of Alaska. All I can say is, I WANT TO GO BACK! It's so beautiful and everyone is so nice. And I know there is so much more to see. It's on my bucket list (as soon as I get the money, I'm there!).
