A walk in the Clouds........

Ok, I did not get out of work as early as I thought, so all my grand plans of Laundry, Cooking a big dinner and cleaning the house sorta got put off till Tuesday, my day off. Still had like 2 hours to kill before my date so I decided to take a walk. Bunker Hill just looked so cool covered in clouds I just knew I had to check it out.

As I said yesterday, it was all a bit surreal with the clouds hanging so low, and just a few hundred feet of clear air at sea level.

The Flowers sure do look great though in all the mist..........Although I really hope that yellow one is not the Island's version of Goldenrod..........

Even the Eagles were a bit sluggish and just chillin out yesterday.

As I climbed up Bunker the Deliniation between the Clouds and the clear air became more apparant.

You can just barely see the Bunker in the above photo..........

When You get up here you can really see why there have been no planes for a day or so........

As I Approached the Bunker the clouds just closed in over Dutch Harbor/Unalaska.........

Even with all the cloud cover the Wildflowers just stood out, maybe even better than when sunny.

Can not even see the Red Roof of the hotel in this photo, and most of Unisea was Obscured.

Could not even see the "Bridge to the Other Side"!

Of course MtDew Enjoyed the whole hike Immensely!!

There really is nothing more peaceful than to be sitting up high...........

..........have the clouds completely engulff you.........

...........blanketing out all the nosie, worries and stresss in your life.........

.........crack open a nice Cold MtDew..........

.........and just let it all flow out of you. Stress, Tiredness, and all the Bullshit that life sometimes hands us.............just let it go, and enjoy Here and Now while Clouds tickle your face and the moisture saturates you, and the only thing you can smell are the wildflowers . Nothing by you, Clouds, Flowers and MtDew. I'll be able to carry that moment with me for the rest of the week.

Besides, I love just playing in the Clouds and the Mist with Flowers and birds and Squirrels. I am a Fairy after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

ALL too soon it was tiem to head home so I decided to go down the "Front Face" of Bunker Hill. Idiot that I am I fell on my A$$ a few times and got all muddy, but it was so Worth it!!!

Thanks Bunker Hill for the Great Hike!!!

What? Sunday Brunch Again? Where did this week go? First SalmonBerries, Rich, JR & Jeff, Freddie&Vanessa, Torchwood, SYTYCD,Cruisers and New Harbor.

What? You are joking Right? It can simply not be Sunday Again. Where the Fudge did this week go?

Its a Really Surreal day up Dutch Harbor way, The fog is hanging around a bit longer today.

Still though, Fresh SalmonBerries are here!!

If you have not had them before they are sorta like a milder Raspberry with a hint of strawberry, but a bit bigger seed like a blackberry. Super Nummy Though. These were picked right out by the hotel.

And in the next picture, along with the Salads you can see the Executive Chef Rich there over by the Hot stations. He can be a bit camera shy, though he takes Awesome photos himself. Sunday Brunch, Wed Night Seafood Buffet, and the Friday BBQ's, as well as all the other food here is all done under his guidence. Everyone say Thanks!!!

Blueberry Pancakes.......

Some Awesome Looking Chicken....

Fish.......

Roast beef and Ham...

ANd The Omlette and waffle stations. Just about time for me to head up and get my Mushroom/Cheese Omlette from Junior...........

...............who worked really hard this week on all of the big days.........

and still did some cool looking strawberries.......though Rich did the Smoothies!

Junior showing off his new camera to Jeff.

So besides Work, (From like 7am-6pm every day) What else has CB Been up to this week?

Freddie and Vanessa are back, and they moved into a new place! (MUCH NICER THAN THEIR OLD ONE!!!)

I just Finished Downloading Torchwood: Children of Earth off of I-Tunes. Now I am just waiting for someone to be done with her stuff so we can watch it together.....HINT HINT!!!

Brandon MADE IT INTO THE FINALIE on "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD). Maybe the 217 times I voted for him on Wednesday helped?................LOL

The Convention and Visitor Burea has kept me busy with Cruise ships.

And I think I have spent more time at the Russian Church the past few weeks than my own bed!!

Freddie of the Cornelia Marie has come along on a few Cruise tours now. It is great to have friends like him and Vanessa who help out whenever they can. I never imagined when I moved here that I would get to be such good friends with one of the guys on DC and his wife that I can just call up and ask if they want to come and hang out with me while I do some tours. Just too Cool! (And The Cruisers, after about 50 Photos taken, agree!)

I have not had much time to go walking, and the weather has not been great, but I managed to squeeze a few in around Bunker Hill and Little South America.

And Of Course Mr. Squirrel got plenty of CB's Leftovers to get ready for winter!

The Ground Squirrels here are almost like a cross between a Squirrel and a Groundhog. Still super cute though!

Amd FINALLY, the New Small Boat Harbor down on the Back end of Bunker is progressing along quite nicely.

Anyway though, Off to Brunch, then Check some rooms, then some more ordering, then scheduling, then have to check rooms again, run to storem, Check rooms final time, home, Laundry, Cook dinner and get ready for my regular Sunday night 'Date". Oh, and then some sleep somewhere........

Have a great Sunday
