I’m sure everyone sees the bear fishing at Hallo Bay in Katmai National Park, Alaska, but who can spot the white wolf?

Gray fox early this morning.

Made a quick trip to Arizona to check on our property and refill the auto water system, and to enjoy the 111 temp! Well the first part is true. These photos are all from last night. A fox pair, deer, coyote with a pup, great-horned owl and the javelina with two new babies!

I’m home from an amazing Katmai Bear photo Tour. We had amazing weather the whole week, and saw over 50 bears! In our first bay, Geographic Harbor, we had 10 spring cubs! Two sets of triplets, and two sets of twins. Also on the trip we saw a wolf, fox, fin and humpback whales, and more eagles, otters and puffin then we could count. All that, and we only saw one other tour boat and one other plane during the whole time on the Katmai Coast.

View from the hike to Sunlight Glacier.

A couple of images from Northwestern Fjord, Kenai Fjords National Park, near Seward, Alaska. Myself and four friends, well, six friends counting crew, had such amazing weather and a fun time of kayaking and hiking there last month.
