One of our most memorable travels was a cruise up the Inside Passage of Alaska. We traveled in early September, and the weather was beautiful. The highlight of the trip was the slow and quiet cruise into Glacier Bay. Just as we arrived the sky cleared revealing the beautiful glacier, sea, mountains and sky.

On Monday, January 18, I took my adopted grandson Jim and his friend snowboarding at Ski Santa Fe. It was Martin Luther King Day, so it was a holiday for many and there was no school. It was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, the snow, and the beautiful scenery! The roads were clear, and the weather was perfect – about 40 degrees, sunny, and no wind. The boys spent about 5 hours on the slopes, and I got the opportunity to wander about and enjoy capturing photographs of the abundant snow-covered vistas. I used my Nikon D7100 with Nikon 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 zoom lens – lightweight, versatile, and easy to carry. The boys had a great time and I got to practice skills in photo composition and getting the right exposure in a variety of lighting conditions. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
