A couple of black bears fishing at Anan Creek, near Wrangell Alaska. Funny, this bear like many of the bears took the salmon into one of the rock caves to eat it in private.

Unfortunately, my 2022 Alaska Photo Tours have been all sold out for some time now. However, we have decided to add one more, and it is a fun one!

We are adding an Anan Bear Photo Tour! I have visited the area numerous times over the years, but last August was the first time I had offered a stand alone trip to the area, and it was a hit!

The photo tour is all inclusive (except for breakfast) This trip will include two full days at Anan, which is such a fantastic bear viewing location. Plus a full day to LeConte Glacier which is possibly the most active tidewater glacier in Alaska. Finally, a trip up the Stikine River with a visit to Shakes Glacier and the wildflowers along the lake. This trip even includes a welcome dinner at our hosts waterfront home – a really nice local touch.

Let me know if you have any questions. Follow the link for more information: https://alaska-photo-tours.com/anan-photo-tour/

Thankful Wildlife!

Gray fox.

These are just a couple of the animals that returned to the waterhole the night I got it back on-line. This week skunks, javelina, owls, bobcat and fox have all returned for a drink making my quick trip to Arizona very worthwhile!

Bobcat, Desert Photo Retreat, Arizona.

So Sunday evening it became apparent that water source to my waterhole at the Desert Photo Retreat had completely stopped working. Since the wildlife relies on this water during the hotter months, I couldn’t leave them without water, so I crabbed some airline miles and made a quick round trip to Tucson this week to get everything back up and running.

Big Boar!

The other bears all kept a close eye on this huge boar (male) whenever he showed up to the salmon hole, Katmai National Park, Alaska.
