Seward Day 2
Here we are ready to kayak for a couple hours. We had great fun. I did not take my camera so there are no pics of the dall porpoises, harbor seal, eagle with fish in hand and jellyfish.

Seward Day 1
We are off on a cruise around the Kenai Fjord (a bay created by a glacier) The next pics are of our amazing day. We went to the Alaskan Sealife Center and a 6 hr cruise on the fjord. We saw some amazing sights and had a great lunch. Please look at all the pics they are something to behold

As we came in from our wonderful day in the Fjord we had a treat of 2 Sea Otters floating along. So cute

these next few pics are almost like make believe. These are icebergs. They are locked in a lake by a glacier morain ( piles of rock pushed by a glacier)They are absolutely beautiful!!!
Seward Day 1
We are on a boat cruising the Kenai Fjords and saw many amazing animals and birds along the way, but the most amazing sight of all was a group of 8 or 9 humpback whales "bubble netting". This is when a group of whales finds a large school of fish. They all work as a group diving in a circle, forcing bubbles out of their spout holes forming a kind of fish net out of these bubbles forcing the fish to stay in that "net" that circle of bubbles. Then the whales come up in the circle of bubbles with their mouths wide open and taken in thousands of fish at once. Notice that the seagulls know when this is happening and can also catch fish as they come to the surface with the whales. The captain of the boat and the hands we talked with said this is a very rare sight. I have so many more pics but can only pick a few for the blog

the boat came really close to this rock cliff with water gently running off and I really liked this pic
