On a beautiful July 5th morning, we head out to the Talkeetna Lakes and take the 3+ mile hike. I go a little crazy taking pictures of wild flowers, but they are beautiful and plentiful in Alaska.

Along he way Bob finds this bench. At first he falls off, as the top was not properly sitting on the base. We pick up the top, set it properly on the base and enjoy the view.

This broken branch reminded Bob of a lizard climbing up a tree. I see his point.

We come across this bench with an interesting inscription. We heartily agree!

I think this an amazing start to what will turn out to be an amazing day. Late this afternoon, we fly around Denali!
