Well we have just updated our website gallery with all our new Grand Teton National Park Photos. Now that we have a fair amount of spring a fall coverage of the area, the lack of winter coverage seems like a glowing hole. Hopefully one of these year.
If you followed our travels through the Tetons on our blog, then many of these photos will look familiar.
Pedersen Lagoon, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
The last 8 photos I have posted on Kenai Fjords, along with the photo in my Graduated Neutral Density filter post were all captured in this amazing location. I tried to describe it early on, but I think this aerial view really on a feel for this place. Ailaik Bay is in the foreground.

Continuing on my theme – this is another photo from my favorite place.
Imperial Sand Dunes, California.
In a couple weeks, we will be hitting the desert area for a couple of months, and wildflower conditions are sounding better and better thanks to another large storm. It may not be a huge bloom, but it should definitely be at least average, and probably above average – a big improvement over the last 2 years!Read More
Kayaking in Pedersen Lagoon, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
A kayak is a great way to get around Aialik Bay and Pedersen Lagoon. This was a little early in the season – the icebergs are a little thick by the entrance at this time of year making it a little tricky picking your way through the maze – tricky but fun! As the summer continues, it get easier.
There are numerous beaches for camping all around the bay, and the Park Service has food storage boxes at most of the best beaches, so you don’t need to worry about lugging bear proof food containers. The one thing you do have to worry about it the unpredictable weather. Short sleeve days like the one pictured aren’t very common.
Ghost Forest, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
Everyone calls these standing dead trees “ghost forests”. Don’t know if that is an official name, but it works for me.
These trees have been standing dead like this for over 40 years. Pretty amazing given our wet environment – my fire wood ends up rotting after just 3 or 4 years. So how did they die, and why are they still standing strong?Read More

Black Bear in Pedersen Lagoon.
An annual salmon run brings lots of black bears to the shores of Pedersen Lagoon, Kenai Fjords National Park. I think I counted 13 separate bears over a two day period just within the lagoon!
