#6 (WEEK 3) Flickr fun with mashups

Reviewing all the mashups was fun. There are so many different options to choose from. I decided to create a Trading Card (very basic) and continued my theme from Alaska. This picture was taken on the second day while we were cruising through Hubbard Glacier. It was beautiful and a bit chilly. I am usually the photographer on most outings so I don't have many pictures of myself.

#5 (WEEK 3) Flickr

Two summers ago I took my first cruise with my father in celebration of his 70th birthday. We flew to Seward and then cruised to Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan, through the Inside Passage, and finished our 7 day tour in Vancouver, British Columbia. As most librarians I could not pass up seeing at least one local library while in Alaska. My quest however was two fold as I wanted to see the library and all its treasures, and find out if I could get on the Internet. Another of my passions is geocaching and I was attempting to find as many caches as time would permit in as many of the ports as possible.

Above you will see the beautiful stained glass window of the Juneau Public Library. Additional pictures are also posted on my Flickr site.
