I spent a lot of time watching and photographing these two cubs the year before as first year cubs.  They were just as fun this year as they were last – just a bit bigger.

Like it or hate it?

I like this one and as the photographer, that is really all that matters I suppose, but I’m curious what others think – do you like it or hate it?  I’m thinking most people won’t like it, but maybe I’m wrong.

I realized all the photos I have been posting from my week with the brown bears of Lake Clark National Park have been more of the animal in the landscape which tends to be my favorite type of wildlife image.  So today, I thought I would do a nice close up of a beautiful, big brown bear!

Speaking of bears, our August photo tour has sold out, and there are just a few spots left for our June bear photo tour for next summer – for more information see:  bear and puffin photography tour.

Over the almost two weeks in Denali this fall I sure spent a lot with the sheep and caribou – hard not to spend time with such magnificent animals in beautiful scenery!

This was about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday night – what a great show!  I had been out the night before until about 2:00 a.m., and didn’t get anything, so it was nice to have some success this night.  Since this is typically a winter event – getting a reflection in unfrozen water was kind of a nice bonus.
