Porcupine.
Usually when I see a porcupine, all I see is the backside and a lot of quills as it slowly flees. It is nice to know these guys really do have a face!
Off to Denali!
A wild wolf in Denali last night.
Yesterday I hit the road and made the long drive to Denali National Park. I arrived at about 10:30 last night, and since it was still light out, I decided to drive a few miles into the park for a look see. Much to my surprise, I came across this wolf along the road just 8 miles into the Park! She was a beauty! This was close enough to capture this with a 100-400! What a great start.Read More
Exciting News!
Last winter I shared the original version of this photo in my Seward comes to Los Angeles post, and talked about how it was going to appear on billboards in the Los Angeles area over a 12 week period – this is how the actual billboard looked.
What I didn’t know; this was a test market, and fortunately the test went well. So now Nature Valley and their ad agency liscended the image for unlimited billboard use nationwide for one year! It will appear primarily in hispanic markets in major cities across the U.S. Pretty cool.
Cow Moose

Newborn moose should be dropping any time right now, if they haven’t already. I made the rounds early in the morning, but did not find any new calves. This female still had last years calf with her. It was good to see a yearling; young moose have a difficult time surviving a deep snowy winter like this past one.
American Road

This image has been on a bit of a roll lately by also appearing on the cover of this year’s The Milepost.
A New Direction
Lincoln’s Sparrow on Lupine from a past summer, near Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
I want to take my photo blog in a new direction. Well maybe a better description is an additional direction. I still plan to post a photo nearly every day and share experiences from the field and our travels, but I want to do more.Read More
Red-necked Grebe
A Red-necked Grebe from last week in Wasilla, Alaska.
It is easy to see how this bird earned it’s name. It was a gloomy evening, but using flash saved the day with this photo by bring out the rich color in this birds plumage.
Here are more Alaska photos.
Sure Sign of Summer
Royal Caribbean cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas leaving Seward, Alaska.
Along with the arrival of swallows, robins and endless daylight, nothing signals the return of the summer season like the first cruise ship. To be accurate, this one is actually the second ship of the season, but the first one didn’t leave in good light like this this one, so this will do.
