Friday, July 18, 2008 - Hike on the Tundra

We took a hike on the Tundra a couple of weeks ago.  We all had a lovely time.

 

Rachel and Aaron head up the trail.

 

 Chris took the above pics as the kids and I hike.  Aaron  and Rachel really loved to get down and look the grass and flowers.  David loved looking for birds.  He and Chris think they saw a snowy owl, but it was too far away too be sure.

After our walk, we went to see if the ice was going out on the ocean. 

There was still a lot near shore.  There is a lot more open water near the point, now.  Hope that means our barge will be on time this year!  (end of July)

We saw seals, but they are hard to see in the photo above.

Beautiful pictures! I'm glad, for your sake, that you had some greenery to look at, and I would have been so fascinated to study the flowers, the birds, and the other animals. Cool!

Why is there a mesh thing on the trail?
