Along The Alcan

I posted some photos recently of a mini road trip to Anchorage, but today I'm digging into my archives and going back to 2009 when we took a wee bit longer road trip.  We left Fairbanks on September 28th and got back home on November 12th.  We traveled down the Alcan Highway, through Canada into Montana, down to Yellowstone, east to Kansas City, along Route 66 to California, up to Seattle, and then north again to Fairbanks.  I took a lot of photos on that trip, and so it's no surprise that two of them popped up when I searched my files for Index No. 1688 for Gaelyn's Foto Friday Fun No. 110.  The first was on September 30th traveling south through northern British Columbia.

The second was taken on November 11th, traveling north into the Yukon Territory.

There are many miles of spectacular scenery along the Alcan, but maybe the most beautiful is along the stretch of road we covered on September 30th.  

I posted photos all along that trip, and you can check out the posts for those two days HERE and HERE.  You can also read more of the posts from that trip under my Blog Archive under 2009, September 28th through November 13th.

 I am also linking up with Eileen's Saturday's Critters.

Little Brown Barn

When we were in Washington in January we saw this little brown barn on Vashon Island, just a short ferry ride from downtown Seattle. The setting is typical for Vashon Island, situated on hilly ground with big trees and lots of plant life growing around it.

Most of the barns on Vashon were small barns, reflecting a subsistence-farm culture and were part of small family farms.

This one is still in use, and there were several sheep in the pen close to the barn. The one below was very interested in what I was doing.
