Eastern Shore

Finally, I found a way to post these pictures. I have posted them on Flickr, a Yahoo feature and the editor can transfer over the images to this posting on Blogger. It's a pain and I can't see them while I'm writing. I'm still hoping to upload the images directly form the computer, as I hhad been doing until this weekend.



On Friday, Art and I got a boat out twice in the same day. First we went east, around Bonaparte point to a shore I had only seen from on top of the glacier. The bergs were fantastic, as you can see. Very stimulating to my sculpture mind. After lunch we took the boat to Torgensen Island where we watched the skua steal eggs from the Adelies.



This is one giant berg, at least for here and now, Even though it looks like two, it is clearly connected underwater.





There was a group of Gentoo penguins. You can tell them by their red bills. One of those birds is not a penguin.





We saw this berg later in the day back at Arthur Harbor. The blue gets me every time. This is a piece of stripy ice, one of the things I didn't expect to see.
