Alaska 2013


Images from Lake Clark National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

This was my 4th trip to Alaska, and it was the best one yet in terms of the number and opportunities to capture compelling wildlife images.
I saw breaching humpback whales for the first time, and we were able to approach and photograph bear cubs from just 30 or 40 feet away.
It was nothing short of amazing. I invite you to take a look at the images below and get a glimpse of what I saw and captured through my lens.

Gee, no need to go back to Alaska; even breaking whales and puffins too. Each a perfect postcard.
