Wherever I go, I like to visit local gardens and nurseries. to learn a thing or two from the professionals. My Alaska trip was no exception. While I was on my trip to Alaska, I visited the Glacier Gardens at Juneau. Upside down flower towers are the trademark of Juneau's Glacier Gardens. Flower towers are made by recycled large tree stumps, which are inverted and lined with a net to support the soil to create a garden on top.
Flower towers are made from an inverted tree trunk like this.
Hanging baskets in this garden are nothing like I have ever seen. Next year's project is to emulate something like this.
We went on a trolley to the top of the hill.
Words cannot describe the beauty of this view.

This post is a continuation of my Cruise to Alaska I , II, III and IV. One of the things we enjoyed most on the cruise was having high tea in the formal dining room.
The tea room was filled with beautiful pastries...
Chocolate masks..
Assorted tea sandwiches...
Ice carvings...
And fruit carvings.
It was a hard choice to pick what to eat. Everything looked so tempting.
Most delicious of all ...the ocean view. Sipping tea while watching the ocean waves and occasionally even a school of killer whales playing was a sight to behold.

Visiting glaciers was the highlight of my cruise to Alaska.
The color blue is associated with the density of the ice which absorbs all the colors of the spectrum except blue, which is being reflected here.

Alaska is a waterfalls paradise. Wherever you turn, you see spectacular waterfalls.
