the telephoto lens
Caribou taking flight from the road
Brand new baby Dahl Sheep peeking

Tried a sepia effect on this buffalo
They
are such incredibly noble looking guys
The mountains are so close you feel like you could touch them

Ice cream stop and some silliness at Haines Junction

exploring Kluane Lake, hard to believe
I swam in this lake same time last year!
Paul and Robyn enjoying a warm fire.
It was about 36 F right before a snowfall
Clear day in the Yukon - almost to Alaska
Mt. Sanford elevation 16, 237 feet
Glacier has melted even since last year!
Saw Mom and juvenile moose crossing road.
We camped at Long Lake about 1 mile south.
Same
moose at our camp, I literally almost stumbled into them
while I was out for
my morning meditation
Proud Momma!
This was our view at Long Lake we camped here
and made product, not a bad office for a day..
Paul caught me meditating at the Lake
Robyn and I enjoying Seldovia amoungst the dandelions
BEFORE
working on my zooooom

What you looking at!
Mt.
Augustine still fuming from it's January
eruption.
This is at Outside Beach in Seldovia
It was harder than I thought to catch them in flight
Paul sporting his new Alaskan beard....I like it!
Robyn saved this baby (yes, baby) raven,
we found a safe haven and it joined it's clan later.
I have so enjoyed the eagles this year
Such
incredible expressions they have.
Robyn's favorite pass-time is Tide pooling,
she learns so much. This is Outside Beach in Seldovia.
So much to sea.....so little time.
This
old bird did not want to be disturbed
So
he made it known he was not happy that
I was so close
Then he took off....to my delight
Paul and Robyn tide-pooling at Jakolof Bay
Jakolof
Bay at low tide....the tides if
you remember from last year are upwards of
26 feet
Jakolof
Bay at high tide
We found out where Patrick vacations when away
from Sponge Bob.....Alaska!
Paul's
at Jakolof Bay at high tide, it's
amazing that a few hours before there
was
NO water behin him.
I'm getting quite a work-out clamming,
Come hear you little dirt eater.......
Our
catch at the end of the day...they were
very tastey
Check out this Huge Halibut! It weighed
in at 284 pounds.....
A view from my booth out to Main Street

all the animals she saw in Seldovia
Mt. Redoubt up close
Mt.
Redoubt across the water

Our
lovely resting spot with Wayne and Shirley
in Homer overlooking Kacheamak Bay
Beached sailboat at low tide, ahead of the boat is the Spit
Gathering
driftwood on the beach, if you can spot them
it's Wayne on the beach to the
right and Paul on the left
One of five Glaciers we over looked on the bluff.
The
fireweed is starting to bloom.
We just compelted a steep hike up this bluff
after gathering driftwood.
So
