Evening Picnic

A few nights ago, my friend and I were able to break away from work a little earlier than normal (thank you for covering, Joolee!) so we could go for a walk and have a picnic on the glacier. Neither of us had been out on the glacier since June so it was just what we needed! Not only did we get to see how much the glacier had changed during the summer melting season, we also got to have some quality time and even finished off the night with a refreshing, albeit slightly cold, swim in a lake on the moraine. Freedom!

I can't get enough of these sweet smelling flowers, the Alaskan Sweet Pea...featured with the Chugach mountain range in the background.
