exploring nature’s infinite connections
While I only spent a short 2.5 days in Denali, I suppose I had OK luck with seeing wildlife there. Only the first 17 miles of the park road are open to public traffic, which is such a miniscule portion of the entire park. Yet, it still is an incredibly large...
Hey folks. Back home now after a couple of days of recouping from a bad cold I caught while on the boat in Katmai. Future posts will elaborate more on the trip that was basically broken down into three segments - Denali, Kodiak/Katmai, and a short day...
Well, I am now less than 2 weeks away from heading off on my first trip to Alaska. I surprise myself I haven't mentioned it before here, but I have been so swamped with so many other things. I will be photographing for a few days just outside Denali National Park,...

This is something I really enjoy watching - the behavior of Great Blue Herons building a nest in a rookery. The entire ritual they go through - from the courtship displays to the very critical 'stick presentation' to the female - is just fascinating. And it happens...
I heard my first Red-winged Blackbird of the season today Despite a lot of snow on the ground, at least it is one small sign spring won't be too much longer If not, these birds are in for a long wait He was probably calling out to complain "Why did I come back...
