***I know it's hard to see the pictures in the grid like this but if you click on the grid, it will expand the picture into larger images so you can see them more clearly.***Here are some pictures of the Kenai River (where I'd like to spend some time) and Again Kenai Lake. We then stopped in Girdwood. We had stopped on the way to Homer to take the tram to the top of Mt.Aleyska, but a cloud was in the Mountain, so the viewing wasn't great. We took a chance on the way home and it was perfectly clear. While paying for our tickets, Blair noticed that you can ParaGlide down from the top. Well, he has wanted to sky dive for a long time and could hardly pass this up. Next best thing, right? It's about a 2,200 foot jump. He loved it. And lost his shoe in the process.
Girdwood's Aleyska is just stunning. The ski resort is definately high class. Big Time. The tram operator said they got 115" of snow in May. Can you imagine? So normally they don't have snow at the top (as you can see from the pictures of Blair getting ready to run off the mountain) but it's been a much cooler spring and summer. So between that and getting 155" in May (not normal) there was still snow there.

I learned to ski at Alyeska...sigh...memories...my Aunt Donna and Uncle John owned a nice cabin there in Girdwood. We visited and spent Spring break there several times. My Aunt died of a Brain tumor 4 months ago. She taught me many things on that mountain. She was a godly woman. Glad you got to experience it. Jonathan enjoyed it as well when I took him!

I'd almost forgotten you lived in Alaska! Where did you live?
I've been meaning to ask you, how do you make the picture grid?
And it looks like you are enjoying your Rebel!
You do it in Picasa.
Select the pictures you want to 'grid' in the tray and use the hold key. 4 makes a square w/2 pictures in 2 rows, 9 does 3 pict/3 rows ect. I think 9 was the max. Can't remember.
Anyway, then you click on the "COLLAGE" button at the bottom right. Then a window pops up and you can choose which type of collage you want. Grid is one option. Then select where you want it to go (file or folder) and you are ready to blog it.
Let me know if this confuses you.
Yes, I love the camera.
