exploring nature’s infinite connections
Bear and river, Kinak Bay, Katmai National Park, Alaska Hard to believe months have already gone by and I am still digging out favorites from my trip to Katmai National Park in Alaska. Bears are such amazing animals, I still feel quite privileged to have had the...
