Not only was there another cub, and the mom nearby, but yes, there was a person in the outhouse!  Needless to say, they had to wait awhile.  🙂

See I do photograph other things besides bears and whales while in Southeast Alaska – not often, but sometimes.

August Autumn

Autumn comes early in the Brooks Range – this was at the end of August.  So does winter.  It was still August when I encountered 18 degree temperatures and blowing snow in Atigun Pass just north of where this image was captured!  That is too early for winter!

Burning Autumn

This is from earlier this month.  I have a feeling this is an image most people won’t like, but I kinda do, so I’m sharing.  🙂
