Opening Brown Bear and Puffin Tour
Brown / Grizzly Bear, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
Unfortunately a broken ankle has forced one of my guests to cancel his spot in my August Alaska Bear and Puffin Photo Tour.
My trips have been full for months, so if you missed out before, here is a chance to get in on this amazing trip! See all kinds of behavior, often we see nursing sows at close range! These bear trips never disappoint. Plus, this is maybe the best place in Alaska to photograph horned puffin! Throw in eagles, sea otters… Well you get the idea. Check out the link for more information.
Sonoran Desert
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California.
I spent the month of March split between two extreme environments – the Sonoran Desert of Anza-Borrego, and the Alaskan Arctic well north of the Arctic Circle. Both places beautiful in there own way. This image was near the end our our trip down south, shortly before photographing the amazing aurora in Alaska. Such variety sure keeps the creative photography juices flowing! By the way, this would be a bad place to wear flip flops. 🙂

Here is a little shameless self promotion – I have the cover current issue of This Is The City 57 Degree magazine along with a portfolio of bald eagle photos inside. This is a magazine about San Francisco, California.

Aurora Corona
Aurora corona over the Brooks Range, Alaska.
Because the Brooks Range is so beautiful, I usually try to include some of the scenery in my aurora photos. I think that helps set these images apart from ones captured in less scenic areas. But, sometimes the aurora overhead is so amazing that I had to ignore the scenery. This photo was captured looking straight up. It is amazing how much this one was dancing in the sky!

Nutirwik Creek Aurora
Nutirwik Creek, Brooks Range, Alaska.
This is looking the opposite direction up Nutirwik Creek from yesterdays photo. It is interesting how different the colors in the aurora looked the other direction.
I can’t wait to get back for more! I’m going to be in the area for four more nights in late August and early September, as part of a polar bear tour I’ll be guiding for friend Hugh Rose. With just 5 guests, and timed to hit the amazing autumn colors in the Brooks Range, I think this will be a great trip. Throw in more auroras, and it could also be one colorful trip!
