Lincoln’s Sparrow on Lupine from a past summer, near Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
I want to take my photo blog in a new direction. Well maybe a better description is an additional direction. I still plan to post a photo nearly every day and share experiences from the field and our travels, but I want to do more.Read More
A Red-necked Grebe from last week in Wasilla, Alaska.
It is easy to see how this bird earned it’s name. It was a gloomy evening, but using flash saved the day with this photo by bring out the rich color in this birds plumage.
Here are more Alaska photos.
Royal Caribbean cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas leaving Seward, Alaska.
Along with the arrival of swallows, robins and endless daylight, nothing signals the return of the summer season like the first cruise ship. To be accurate, this one is actually the second ship of the season, but the first one didn’t leave in good light like this this one, so this will do.
A small house on the coast in Cordova, Alaska. Forgetting the 167 inches of annual average rainfall for a second – could you imagine waking up this the 180 degree ocean and Chugach Nattional Forest view!
I’m amazed at the high number of beautiful waterfront properties you see as you drive around the Cordova area. You see, Cordova has a number of miles of road accessible coastline, along with a large road accessible lake and river (Eayak Lake and Eyak River). Couple this with a population of only a couple thousand people and less then 1,000 households, and I would venture to say this town may have more waterfront property per capita then any town in America.
This photo was from our trip to San Diego a little over a year ago.
Magazines and books often select more then one photo to mock up for cover consideration. We had been on a bit of a losing streak lately missing out on what could have been exciting covers for National Geographic Adventure and Via Magazine. Maybe now our luck is changing!
Cordova Boat Harbor, Alaska.
Unfortunately the service that handles our email subscriptions has been having trouble lately – hopefully this one will go out.
Weather permitting, the commercial salmon season will open tomorrow (Thursday) at 7:00 am near the entrance to the Copper River. When we were in Cordova, the harbor was bustling with activity as fishermen prepared their boats. You see, not only is this the first fresh salmon to hit the market every year, it is also the best tasting due to its high oil content.
Shorebirds fly over the Copper River Delta, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.
I have avoided putting any advertising on our main photo website despite some lucrative offers because I think they are a distraction that would take away from the photos.
