I’ve temporarily moved back to my hometown of Juneau, Alaska.\u00a0 When I lived here year-round until 18 years ago, from the time began a family in 1977 until the time I moved away in 1993, I rarely hiked or beach-combed.\u00a0 I was too busy running self-employed businesses in art, landscaping and sign-painting, while raising a family.\u00a0 I’m still busy with running a business, but I don’t have a family to raise full-time.\u00a0 So, I’ve actually made time to go on walks in our beautiful surroundings.\u00a0 Juneau is one of the most beautiful Capital cities in America – even when it rains!\u00a0 From time to time, I will post photographs of various walks in our city.\u00a0 Here are a few photographs of our Mendenhall Glacier taken at the end of July during our drizzling rain around 10pm:<\/p>\n

Mendenhall Glacier's Icebergs<\/p><\/div>\n

For the entire month of July, we hadn’t any sunshine; the temperature remained pretty steady between 52 – 55 degrees.\u00a0 Yet, we still had enough warmth for the Mendenhall to calve off and create icebergs like I hadn’t ever experienced before.\u00a0 They say the Mendenhall is receeding 120 feet per year; maybe this is that time of year – and as I mentioned earlier, I hadn’t gone out and enjoyed our surroundings for a number of years until recently, so how would I know if this is the largest number of icebergs ever?<\/p>\n
