and The Treetops Hike which takes you 33 meters up into the canopy.

A suspension bridge surrounded by tall evergreen trees, featuring colorful flags hanging along its length, with some people walking on it.

The bridge during The World Cup! The bridge is over 130 years old, 70 meters high, and 137 meters long. It has of course been rebuilt several times over the years. I walked it very quickly as it was a tad intimidating and swayed a lot!

Grumpy wet Bald Eagle in the rain near Ketichan,

A brown and white owl perched on a tree branch, with its eyes closed and nestled into its feathers.

and a very wet and sleepy, Barred Owl in British Columbia. He may have been chilling, but I was thrilled to see him, even if he didn’t wake up! It’s daytime and he needs his zzzz’s…..

Note: I used google ai and image search to identify where I took the photos I couldn’t place. If you notice an error, I would like to know. AI does make a fair amount of mistakes.

We are heading off glamping now. Yep, it is on our bucket list. So, I will post some photos soon and share all the camping-glamour with you!!

Cheers to you from gorgeous Canada & Alaska and her incredible creatures~

  4. Those are wonderful images of a wonderful place on earth Cindy! The stern looking Bald Eagle (why are the called Bald when they obviously aren’t bald at all?) and the dozing, fluffy owl – aww. I hope the glamping brings what you expect!

    1. Hi Peter. I have no idea what to expect except the unexpected with glamping! Maybe they called them bald because up high in flight their heads look like they have no feathers, but honestly, human names for birds are so bird-brained, I am probably being too logical. Thank you for your thoughtfulness Peter დ

    The pictures are wonderful. I particularly like the bald eagle and have many childhood memories of frightening visiting family by rocking the bridge.

    I think you may have a typo – I believe the city is “Ketchikan” and not Ketichan.

    1. Thanks very much. Hilarious about you frightening family on the wobbly-wonderous Capilona Bridge. There were kids rocking the bridge, scaring the oldsters! 😉 Also thanks very much for catching the typo which I didn’t notice. Glad you stopped by & cheers დ

      1. One of my children and their partner ‘Glamps’- just a small trailer with a full bath and kitchen only for them! One of them isn’t fond of sleeping on a strange mattress. So they got a new mattress… and go to different sites that have electric hook ups. They take care of the ‘waste’ themselves. Which is the right thing to do. I’ll take a hotel room though! That’s my preference. All is good. Thanks.
