A couple of images from Northwestern Fjord, Kenai Fjords National Park, near Seward, Alaska. Myself and four friends, well, six friends counting crew, had such amazing weather and a fun time of kayaking and hiking there last month.

Pack Creek Bear Observatory

Home from three back to back trips including two wonderful Alaska bear and whale photo tours! We had lots of brown bears at Pack Creek on both trips. Orcas and lots of humpbacks for both trips as well, including an extended session with bubble net feeding humpbacks on week two. That trip has never failed to amaze me, and every year is so different.

Wow, what a week! So many bears and cubs, orcas, humpbacks… I have never had a summer in Alaska like 2020! This is one of two sows with spring cubs inside of Fords Terror! In Juneau one day, then back out for another week.

The wave train created by our vessel as we came out of the fog in Coleman Cove, and into a beautiful sunny day in Aialik Bay! Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

Black Bear. Home from a fantastic 5 days in Kenai Fjords National Park – my “backyard”! We had orcas, breaching humpbacks, bears, so many birds, but mostly, incredible scenery! I must say, it is sure nice once crew and guests have negative Covid tests in hand, and head out away from the news, internet or all the other daily stresses. Things almost seem normal for a few days.

I’m only home for one day, then off to Southeast Alaska for two weeks. I hope to schedule a couple photos over the upcoming days. By the way, this black bear gave us a nice closeup view before turning up the beautiful lagoon near Aialik Glacier.

Going to be doing another Kenai Fjords Photo Tour next year!
