Not surprising, Antarctica has some of the most amazing ice I have ever seen including this backlit berg near Booth Island.
PBS Show on the mustard in Anza-Borrego
My before and after images were used in this PBS show on the mustard invasion in Anza-Borrego.
It will be interesting to see what happens this year – especially if it is a wet El Nino year. There was speculation in the local paper last winter claiming that the mustard can not survive 3 years of drought, and last year, being the third extremely dry year in a row may have killed off the seeds. I hope!
I like to photograph a relatively unknown spot I call the cactus garden – I see they filmed much of this in my “secret” spot. 🙂
Here are more photos of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in Southern California.
Salisbury Plain
I can’t believe I haven’t shared a photo of this amazing place from last winters Antarctica trip! This is the King Penguin colony at Salisbury Plain. Although St Andrews was my favorite location on South Georgia, this is a close second, and extra memorable as this was our first landing site on South Georgia, and the first time I had witnessed a huge King Penguin colony in person. Really excited to be heading back!
Whale and Bear Tour Opening

Humpback whale at sunset, Frederick Sound, Alaska.
A very unfortunate injury has just opened up a spot on my yacht based bear and whale photo tour in Southeast Alaska this July. This trip originally filled quickly almost a year ago, so if you can travel with fairly short notice, this is a great opportunity to photograph lots of whales, bears and stunning landscapes. Click on the link for all the details.
I also still have two spots, thanks to a last minute cancellation, on my Alaska Bear and Puffin photo tour. I have been leading this wonderful tour for years and there is nothing like spending your days up-close with magnificent brown bears along with their cute little cubs! Thanks to our mild winter, it is looking to be an excellent year with 13 bears already arriving at the lodge by the end of May!
Denali Evening
Hot off the press – another new one from an amazing trip into Denali National Park last summer. Here are more photos of Denali National Park.
