A group of sea otters enjoying the last light this past Saturday evening in front of Surprise Glacier, Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Back from a wonderful 5 day trip in Prince William Sound, Alaska with Discovery Voyages – they do such a great job!  Lots of photo opps – wildlife, hiking kayaking and a great range of weather, it was fun!  This was sunrise at Surprise Glacier the last morning.

A mountain goat from my early May trip into Prince William Sound aboard Discovery Voyages – I was doing some work for them during the shorebird migration through the Copper River Delta.

I head out today for a 5 day and 4 night trip with my friends at Discovery Voyages, along with my buddy Hugh who I have worked with from Alaska to Antarctica – he is the expedition leader for the trips to Antarctica with Cheesemans.

I am really excited to be heading out into the beautiful Prince William Sound – especially with a first rate operation like Discovery Voyages.  From the food down to the most minor detail, they do everything first class.  Some operators don’t provide boot, rain gear or binoculars.  Some provide cheap versions of that gear.  On Discovery Voyages, they provide the guests Xtra-tuf boots, Patagonia rain tops and pants, and top notch binos.  Same gear I use and I live here!  They do everything right.  But, the real star of the show is Prince William Sound – the scenery, glaciers and wildlife are hard to beat!  I’m pretty sure I’ll have photos to share next week!

A swan in a small lake along the Seward Highway, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.  This was the morning after photographing this field of lupine.

View from my house last night as storm clouds built up over the mountains at the end of another nice, warm sunny day.  Weather wise, it has been a long time since we have had a Summer as nice as this one!

I camped last night in Portage and enjoyed sunset with this field of lupine.

Another one from Monday evening.  Moose are so cute when they are this young!  I also love the hyper green we get for a week or two when everything first turns green like right now.
