Brown Bear!

I am home for just one night between my two Alaska Brown Bear Photo Tours – this is one of my favorites from the first week. We have a few spots left for next years trip, and given all the mating activity we saw this year, there should be a few spring cubs!

A sailboat coming out through the very narrow opening into Fords Terror as we are coming in.  This place is amazing – huge granite walls, waterfalls and because it is very challenging to access, the place to ourselves last month!

I had a great time Friday with my friends at Exit Glacier Guides doing one of their climbing trips.  It was so much fun, and amazing to drop into a beautiful glacier like this!  They were nice enough to set me up with an anchor at the bottom of the crevasse so that I could safely hang out and photograph, what a treat!

Last week was my first time to Red Bluff Bay – such a beautiful place.  Not only bears, but this huge waterfall!

Back from a fun photo tour in Southeast Alaska! Here is a brown bear sow with cubs running from a boar (male) bear last week at Pack Creek, Alaska.

Home from a fun bear and whale photo tour in Southeast Alaska!  The weather was great – warm with lots of sun.  Well, it was great for people, not as helpful for wildlife photography.  We visited some new places for me and spent two nights at Pack Creek which was a bonus!  I’ll have more photos from the trip for the days ahead.

The little bobcat came in for one last visit right before we left Arizona – I sure hope they are there again next year!
