Alaska Day 7 :: Summer Solstice Scenery

After yesterday's rain, we deserved the longest day of the year to be sunny, summery, and scenic. And it was! A gorgeous drive from Seward around the Kenai Peninsula and down to Homer. Lots of surprises along the way.

Since the sun was shining, we got to explore the Seward harbor before leaving town.

Working remotely??

I thought maybe this Robyn boat was an early birthday gift, but hubby said I had to return it.

Lots of terns at Tern Lake!

When we drove past Coopers Landing, dozens of folks were socially distanced in their waders so they could fly fish. 

That was fun to watch for a bit.

Further down the road we saw momma moose and...

Her calf trying to get to her. Traffic stopped but the baby went back the way he came. I'm sure they were reunited in no time.

We don't just stop for moose, we stop for life-sized ice cream cones, too. Yum!

A little town called Ninilchik was our treat. Lots of fishermen coming in at the end of the day. And dozens of gulls and EAGLES at the beach. I was in seventh Heaven. 

Warning: You may see some raw fish here!

The eagle has landed!

Made it to Homer!

We'll be camped right here at the end of the Homer Spit the next two nights. Homer is breathtakingly. Mountains across the water in every direction!

Saw some more feathered wildlife too!

There's no mistaking the call of the loon!

And just one more Homer scene before bed...

Have I convinced you to visit Alaska. This has definitely lived up to the dream vacation Renell and I hoped for, so far!

Happy Summer Solstice!
