I don’t travel much. Nor do I take many photos during vacation. I welcome a rest from lugging heavy photography equipment and second-guessing what pictures I shot during the day. But this trip was different. My sister and I were taking an Alaskan cruise with our aunt.

These are a few of the images from a visually inspiring trip. I’ve got to get out more.
