This is one of the many outfitters/charter companies all along the Kenai river on their way to their favorite fishing hole.
All along the drive toward Homer we had a view of mountains across Cook Inlet. This is one of the active volcanoes located there which last erupted in December 1989.
This Russian Orthodox church was built in 1901 and is still in use today. It is located in the village of Ninilchik.
Another view of the church showing the entire steeple.
The cemetery associated with the Russian Orthodox church.
This is the view from the church looking at Ninilchik village below and another volcano (Mt. Iliamna) across the water.
At a viewpoint just outside Homer we can see the Homer Spit. This is a long narrow bar of gravel jutting out into the water about 5 miles from the shoreline. It is home to marinas, docks for ships and the Alaska Ferry, campgrounds and other lodgings, and restaurants and tourist shops.
The Homer Spit viewpoint also had several beds of flowers so I had to get some flower shots while there.
Another variety found at the viewpoint.
Yet another variety found at the Homer Spit overlook.
Taken from the beach near our motel in Homer.
While walking on a nature path through a slough, we found this house. This is the closest we got to a moose - the antlers hung on the house.
Another look across Kachemak Bay late in the day.
This campground was next door to our motel. This is the type of camping view we hope to get when we return with our motorhome.
Wonder what is capturing her interest.
Oh. A couple of brave kayakers in Kachemak Bay. This water is still very chilly - water temperature in the 60's.
The next morning we were on our way back to Anchorage and the lower 48. The saying is that once you have been to Alaska you never leave enitrely. We are now looking forward to our next visit.
