Misty Mountain Hop

The mist hanging on the mountains and hillsides of the the Inner Passage in Alaska. In person, it looked even cooler than the photo does.

Forget me nots

From the recent crop of pictures I posted to Picasa. These are a lovely crop of wild forget-me-nots, the official state flower of Alaska. They grow all over the place, and they're really beautiful.

Enjoy.

A Whale of a Tail

A humpback whale's 'tail slap'. This is a technique humpbacks use to stun their prey, making it easier to collect and eat.

Saw this guy, and many of his kin, while whale watching off the coast of Juneau, Alaska.

Lots more photos soon...

What I did on my summer vacation...

I'm in the middle of a vacation in Alaska--yesterday we spent the entire day inside Denali National Park. I took a ton of pictures, and the ones below were a couple of my favorites. We saw this yearling caribou toward the end of our trip. It caught everyone by surprise--it wasn't more than 100 yards from our bus. Quite a rare sighting, from what I hear. I still need to process lots and lots of pictures but I thought this would be a nice sampler.
