Looked up just in time yesterday to see the M/V Sikuliaq, turning around in front of the house.   This is a brand new, state of the art ice class research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and it to be home ported out of Seward, Alaska.

This was from an overnight trip last summer.  Getting excited for our plans for this summer – it is going to be a busy but fun one!

Unfortunately a broken ankle has forced one of my guests to cancel his spot in my August Alaska Bear and Puffin Photo Tour.

My trips have been full for months, so if you missed out before, here is a chance to get in on this amazing trip!  See all kinds of behavior, often we see nursing sows at close range!  These bear trips never disappoint.   Plus, this is maybe the best place in Alaska to photograph horned puffin!  Throw in eagles, sea otters…  Well you get the idea.  Check out the link for more information.

I spent the month of March split between two extreme environments – the Sonoran Desert of Anza-Borrego, and the Alaskan Arctic well north of the Arctic Circle.  Both places beautiful in there own way.  This image was near the end our our trip down south, shortly before photographing the amazing aurora in Alaska.  Such variety sure keeps the creative photography  juices flowing!  By the way, this would be a bad place to wear flip flops.  🙂
