Keeping Watch

Keeping a close eye on the meadow. Too bad that field of lupine around the cub wasn’t in bloom. The cold, wet summer wasn’t good for some of the wildflowers.

Is it safe mom?

Is is safe mom? What is interesting, it can be challenging to capture bears actually looking towards the camera. The bears at the places I visit pretty much ignore humans except maybe for brief moments like with yesterday’s cub. When we do get moments like in this photo, it almost always means there are other bears in the meadow behind us that have the bears attention. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

Puffin

We had great puffin on both my Bear and Puffin photo tours. Not too many years ago, a photo like this would be very challenging. That is sure changed with modern focus tracking on today’s mirror-less cameras. Horned puffin, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
