A L A S K A !

In one week's time, I pressed the shutter button of my camera 5,610 times. I returned with 3,161 photographs stored on five memory cards. Photographs of moose, bears, seagulls, eagles, dolphins, and, of course "the tale of the whale" along with countless photos of mountains, islandettes, trees, misty waters and numerous sunsets are in the collection of photographs. These will bring joy over the next few weeks as they are sorted and catalogued. There is even a segment of a bald eagle being attached by two ravens to piece together along with the multiple shots of a glacier calving. As each are reviewed and ready, they will be posted on this site. Any photograph can be purchased suitable for framing or ordered as a T-shirt, tote bag or other merchandise. If you would like any photograph(s) made into notecards, send me an e-mail with the description of the photograph, and I will contact you with cost of sets. My e-mail address is on the main page of this website.

"You'd be a poorer man if you never saw an eagle fly" are words from a John Denver hit song. Yes, those who have been fortunate to see this majestic bird in flight cannot express in words the moment.

At this point in the inland passage many boats are fishing the Alaskan waters. This particular day, it was quite warm; warm enough to wear shorts and short sleave shirts.

Two seagulls wanted the same spot in such a vast sea. The looser chose to take its revenge on the "winner" by biting the winner on the tail. Don't you think the expression of the bitten gull is hilarious?
