Mt. Jumbo

Not bad...

Seymour Canal

Home sweet home (seasonally)

A photogenic scene, looking north from camp toward the sunset up Seymour Canal. A local crab boat droppin' late night crab pots, seen by the red light in the distance

Looking southeast onto Randolph Peak and the Glass Peninsula from our little ranger compound

Just out for an evening stroll.

Prancing around in the Windfall Harbor estuary. And when I say prancing, I mean cautiously meandering through the rye grass.

Subadult brown bear that was sufficiently curious on this particular day

Admiralty Island II

This was one of the best scenes I've ever had unfold right in my lap. For two and a half hours, my coworker Carl and I watched this sow try to coax her nervous little cubs into crossing the creek. The cubs wanted no part of it. Or should I say, one cub wanted no part of it, while the other was somewhat interested but a terrible swimmer. After a few tricks and a bit of coercion, and a lion's share of patience, mom got the two across the creek and into the woods on the other side of the estuary.

Inviting her cubs for a swim from the other side of the creek. The cubs are skeptical...

Safe, but a little razzled, on the other side of the creek. Two and a half hours later.

Biodensity!

Chocolate lillies doing what they do best: lookin' good whilst photosynthesizing.
