Wrappings & Trappings- Week 10

All Wrapped Up - our prompt for this week.  I was really trying to think outside the box for this challenge and actually found exactly what I was looking for.  A house about 2 blocks from me is "all wrapped up" in Tyvek* but, alas, I didn't have a spare minute this week to go take a pic.

Thinking outside my box once again led me to go through some of my older photographs.  This first one was taken in Homer, Alaska while walking in the Homer small boat harbor.  I thought it was pretty cool how whatever type of shellfish/clams attached themselves to the piling and completly wrapped it up.  I also love the color of the sea water.

 
This next photo was also taken in the Homer small boat harbor.  I was totally fascinated with the ice that coated everything, including this fishing boat.
 
 
My last photo is a place near and dear to my heart.  Whenever I go back to Alaska I have to stop and visit this Russian Orthodox church in Nikiski.  I've stopped many times during different seasons and each time I love it more.  Located on a bluff that overlooks the Cook Inlet it's a place that is beautiful beyond words and photographs.  I believe I read somewhere it was built in 1900.  My photo shows how the grounds are wrapped or blanketed in fresh snow.

 
It's a WRAP!  :)

    1. Janet, they are probably made of copper. Most usually are. Thank you!

  6. Hi Donna,
    I love the shots around Homer, AK. When I saw the first shot and before reading the post I thought it was a Hydrangea flower.
