Fly to Fairbanks tomorrow, then train to Denali Thursday. Hope to have internet Thurs. night to post some.[/quote]

That's the same as our first two stops.
Went for a paddle boat ride near Fairbanks.
On the train to Denali, you may get a glimpse of Mt. McKinley. It'll be on the right side of the train. It's far off and the weather is so "iffy" around it, clear views are somewhat rare.
I took a shot that was pretty cloudy but at least I saw it.
Took a walking tour in Denali - quite interesting explanations of the foliage and the area.(there are other tours). Our animal sightings were an "attack" squirrel but a bear did run in front of our bus and we did see some caribou in a stream on our way down to Anchorage.
I could go on and on but you need to pack.
Have a safe and fun trip.

Great shot of the Horseshoe Falls. (I'm 15 minutes from there on the US side).

Anyone visiting should allow plenty of time to walk around on both sides of the border. Many opportunities to get very close to the force of the water on the US side. Panoramic views better from the Canadian side. Maid of the Mist is really something. You get wet. Definitely need camera protection.
Current improvements to the Bridal Veil area just completed.

Greg, we spent two weeks there a couple of years ago (land & sea). Took just under two thousand photos. It's a photographers dream. So many awesome photo opps.
Enjoy and have fun. Looking forward to your pix. Dave

[quote=woodsjesse]Additional Info - Lake LH is located near the Village of Maywell, near Town of Chatauqua on Lake Chatauqua, at Lighthouse Point.

I think the Lake LH is near the village of Mayville.

Nice series woodsjesse. LHs are my favorite and I have taken a few around the country but I want to thank you for doing a series in WNY. Sometimes we don't realize the opportunities there are close to home. I've taken the Buffalo Harbor LH many times but I plan to visit some of the ones you've taken this summer.

Being an old Signal Corps guy, I just loved this balloon.

Great color in your photos. We had a Balloon Fest here last year (near Niagara Falls). Looks like some of the same balloons. Here are a couple shots that I caught. A lot of fun.

My Mom used to make a cake like this.
We called it "Pineapple Upside Down Cake" I think because at some point, she'd have to flip the whole thing around.
(Hope I didn't give away any cooking secrets).

This is the first & last picture I took of a fish.
I don't think the fish was happy with my intrusion.

Great photos. Thanks for posting. I've had a birdhouse in my backyard for 15 years which was meant to attract and house blue birds (Eastern - NY State bird). Sparrows beat out the blues every year. There's always next year I guess.

Not sure where the tulip festival is but Puyallup hosts and is origin of the annual four-part Daffodil Parade, which takes place every year in Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner, and Orting.
Hope you get to make both tulip & daffodil festival some day.

Great shot Linda. Thanks for posting.
Ever go to Puyallup, Wa.? I believe they had a daffodil festival there when I was at Ft. Lewis/Tacoma in the late 60's.

Absolutely outstanding shots. Thanks for posting. Many photo opportunities in that area. Went there many times years ago, then stopped but returned last year and added the Gardens stop. Mixed feelings - my D80 went belly up while at the Gardens (last day of vacation). Not to worry, now I want to return with my D7000.

Great shots Bob. Thanks for posting. Portland Head LH my favorite. Been there a couple times but the snow adds something a little different to the image.

Nice shots. Got to see the Memphis Belle B-17 last summer.
Very impressive aircraft - especially up close & especially when you hear the history and stories which are numerous.
Thanks for posting.
