dwgmSeveral quick things...
1. I started optimizing the pics from the Alaska Cruise![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladymora, my mother and I went on early in July, and I posted about a third of the total on Photobucket--check it out!
2. Attended a wonderful concert of Disney music at the Hollywood Bowl last night withgingersnapps and friends. I realized that the last time (and the only time) I'd been to the Bowl was 40 years ago, to see The Beatles! This situation must be remedied: next summer we will attend regularly.
3. There was a drabble challenge at Black Pearl Scrolls -- Dreams & Nightmares -- and I came up with this...
They’d all had their dreams, dreams of freedom and adventure, and unimaginable riches.
Jack dreamt of these, nestled in the womb of his black ship.
Bill dreamt of these, and then of his wife and son.
Barbossa dreamt of power first: the others would follow.
But the dreams had changed, as dreams could. Power exchanged for a life not worthy of the name. A home lost forever. Chains, real and imagined, the searing pain of a brand, heart torn away and fading into the distance.
You know nothing of Hell.
Oh, but he did, though. They all did. ~~

I think the guide said the owners had acquired the property about ten years ago. Amazing what they've done in that short a time--there's a little road all the way up to the top of a mountain, with garden all along the way and beautiful views at the top.
That wasn't Fall color on that ornimental Japanese Maple--they just come in all different colors, and that one happened to be maroon.
Juneau gets it's share of real winter, but actually it's quite sheltered and is a more moderate climate than the interior of Alaska. It's a Rain Forest, accomodating luxuriant growth of plants of all kinds.
