Summit Lake, Chugach National Forest, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.
Just about every road through a mountain pass in Alaska passes by a lake with the name Summit Lake – the Seward Highway is no exception. I must say, I have yet to see an ugly Summit Lake!
This was yesterday afternoon – water seeping through cracks in the ice melted some of the fresh snow and created what I thought were interesting patterns on the lake surface.
Devils Club, Chugach National Forest, near Seward, Alaska.
This bright red patch of devils club in a sea of rich green caught my eye yesterday as I went running on my favorite mountain trail. I went back this morning with a camera, 24mm tilt/shift lens and a tripod to photograph this colorful patch.
I hope this doesn’t mean fall is coming early. Don’t get me wrong, I love our brief, but spectacular fall. But, the calendar still says July, and we have only seen a few days above 60 – I’m still looking forward to summer!
Western Sandpipers yesterday afternoon, Seward, Alaska.
The last two years I have traveled to the Copper River Delta for the spring shorebird migration – that is one amazing experience!
The number of birds migrating through Seward are measured in the hundreds instead of the tens of thousands over on the Copper River Delta, but it is still fun to see. Yesterday was probably the best day I can ever remember here – hundreds of sandpipers and other shorebirds, numerous species of ducks, even a few sandhill cranes. And a few eagles and a northern harrier preying on the weak. There were birds everywhere – it was cool to see and I’m not even a “birder”.
They seem a bit late this year maybe because of the cool weather. Between the steady rain, wind and a temperature just above 40 – I could barely feel my auto-focus and shutter buttons after a couple of hours – but I was having so much fun, it didn’t matter!
Mt. Alice, Seward, Alaska.
The mountains around Seward still have heavy amounts of snow, but down low, most of it is gone and green leaves are just beginning to emerge from a largely brown landscape. As I sit here right now watching a heavy rain come down, it is hard to believe that in just over a month the brown landscape will be transformed to this! The transformation that takes place during the change of seasons never ceases to amaze me.
Gallery wrapped canvas print of the Copper River Delta, Chugach National Forrest, Alaska.
I am very, very honored to have an image selected for the Alaska Art Bank. The State of Alaska hasn’t added to their art collection since 2001, and only selected 17 pieces of art out of 556 entries from 110 Alaskan artists! I am so proud to be included among such a small group of artists.
I captured this photo a couple of years ago from a helicopter with the door removed. I have shot from helicopters many times in Alaska and California – it is a blast!
We don’t offer canvas wraps on our on-line shopping cart, but have had a number of people special order them – they turn our great, and are ready for hanging.
Prince William Sound, Alaska.
Well we had a great response and quickly filled the Alaska bear photo tour after we lowered the price, so we decided to try the same thing with our all inclusive boat based photo tour of the amazing Prince William Sound. Bears, whales, incredible scenery including active tide water glaciers huge snow capped mountains – I could go on and on about this amazing, remote region! Follow the link for more details.
Stanton Lanier December Peace Cover
Sticking with a music theme, we just received a bundle of our mail and in it was this CD by Stanton Lanier. As I sit here in the desert in shorts and sandals, I gotta admit seeing my snowshoe tracks in winter is a little hard to relate to, but a fun reminder of our wonderful home!
For the many new followers to the blog – don’t worry, I won’t post every time we make an image sale – that would be boring. But, I do like sharing covers because, well, I think they are fun. So I post them from time to time under the category Shameless Self Promotion.
To Stanton – we weren’t able to get through to you on email for some reason, so just in case you see this – the cover looks great – thanks a lot, and thanks for the autographed copy. We look forward to listening to it soon!
