Alaska Magazine Cover

I can remember devouring every issue of this magazine growing up, so having an image on the cover has extra special meaning to me.  It has been a few years since the last cover, so this is a real treat.  I’m honored!  Thanks Alaska Magazine!
  
This was captured early one morning on one of my Alaska bear photo tours.  We were the only ones out in the field that morning which is an extra treat.  We spotted the sow with two cubs from the lodge and made the short walk to them and had just got set up when one of the cubs climbed onto it’s mom’s back!  Plus, they were even facing the rising sun!  A memorable morning for sure.
