Alaska: July 9

I went to the Alaska Botanical Gardens this morning. Again, there were signs everywhere reminding me I was in bear and moose country. As the path wandered deeper and deeper, and as I realized I was quite alone, I actually became a bit nervous. So, I did what any person would do in a similar situation: I talked to myself. And sang to myself. And it was fun.

I really enjoyed my time meandering. There is something about flowers that instantly calms me and gives me this unexplainable joy. I LOVE to look at them, smell them, touch them and photograph them. I often think I’d be totally happy working with flowers every day.
