Bing Background! I understand a flipped version of this photo was the background of Bing last month while I was away. Unfortunately it was gone before I could grab a screen shot, but still cool! I think this is my third or fourth time.

Brown Bear!

I am home for just one night between my two Alaska Brown Bear Photo Tours – this is one of my favorites from the first week. We have a few spots left for next years trip, and given all the mating activity we saw this year, there should be a few spring cubs!

A sailboat coming out through the very narrow opening into Fords Terror as we are coming in.  This place is amazing – huge granite walls, waterfalls and because it is very challenging to access, the place to ourselves last month!

I had a great time Friday with my friends at Exit Glacier Guides doing one of their climbing trips.  It was so much fun, and amazing to drop into a beautiful glacier like this!  They were nice enough to set me up with an anchor at the bottom of the crevasse so that I could safely hang out and photograph, what a treat!

Last week was my first time to Red Bluff Bay – such a beautiful place.  Not only bears, but this huge waterfall!
