Taken during my trip to Alaska this past August. It's always fun to watch these curious animals and see what treasures they come up with. Blue Skies! (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1250th/f4/ISO 2000/+1)

Seeing coastal wolves in addition to the spirit bears was a real bonus during my time in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia! These wolves can be quite shy, so I especially appreciated the opportunities to observe and photograph them in their natural environment. The younger wolf carrying a fish was a particularly special moment. Taken last month. Blue Skies!

Spent last week in the Rockies during one of my favorite times of year, the peak of fall color and the elk rut. It was a special afternoon when I found this bull and cow positioned perfectly against a stunning backdrop of brilliant yellow aspens. Nice intimate moment captured as well. The combination of the elk, the rut, and those incredible fall colors made for one of those moments you hope for while in the field. (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1600th/f 3.5/ISO 800/+.3)

Another memorable encounter in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia a few weeks ago. While the Spirit Bear often gets the attention because of its rarity, the black bears of this incredible coastal rainforest are just as fascinating to photograph. This bear was moving through its lush surroundings fishing, completely at home in one of the most remote and pristine ecosystems along the British Columbia coast and caught a large salmon right in front of us. Good times! (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/800th/f2.8/ISO 6400)

For those of you attending the Bison Roundup in Custer State Park, I’ll be displaying my wildlife photography in my regular booth location, #6. If you’re attending, be sure to stop by, say hi, and check out the latest images. Hope to see you there!

A Spirit Bear, or Kermode bear, is a rare color phase of the American black bear found primarily in the coastal rainforests of British Columbia. Despite its beautiful white or cream-colored coat, it is not an albino and is not a separate species. The unusual coloration is caused by a rare recessive genetic trait. This particular Spirit Bear was photographed resting on a rock after feeding on a salmon. Taken in the spectacular Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia, Canada last week. Having the opportunity to spend time with one of these rare bears in its natural environment was truly special and one the greatest wildlife experiences in my life. Many more pics to come. Blue Skies. (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1000th/f4/ISO 2500 /-.3)

For those of you in the Anaconda, Montana area I will be participating in the Wildlife Art Expo at "The Montana" this weekend. Come by and say hi if attending.

One of those wildlife encounters that makes a trip to Southeast Alaska so special. An immature Bald Eagle stoically perched on a washed-up log along the beach, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Alaskan coast. Taken a few weeks ago. Blue Skies. (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1600th/f2.8/ISO 4000/+.3)

Wet, misty mornings in Southeast Alaska aren’t always ideal for photography, but they can produce some pretty special encounters. While checking for eagles, we came across this porcupine making its way along the beach. He didn’t seem to mind the rain or our presence, providing a wonderful opportunity to photograph him. Sometimes the best moments are the ones you never planned for. Taken two weeks ago. Blue Skies. (Canon R1/400mm 2. 8 III/500th/f4/ISO 2000/+.3)

Back home early this morning from a fantastic trip to Alaska. As expected, Alaska gave us a little bit of everything, including plenty of rain. But the weather never dampened the experience. The wildlife opportunities were incredible, and the number of memorable images we came home with made it all worthwhile.

In today’s post, a brown bear COY (cub of the year) put on quite a show as he played among the highbush cranberry. He spent quite a bit of time entertaining us, creating one great photo opportunity after another. In this image, he looks like he’s actually waving hello. Sometimes the wildlife seems to know exactly how to work the camera! Good times. (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1600th/f 3.5/ISO 4000/+.3)

One of the bird species I’ve always wanted to photograph, the Swallow-tailed Kite. I finally had a great opportunity this past June on Sanibel Island, Florida. Always special when you get the chance to photograph a species you’ve been hoping to capture for years.

A pika with a mouthful of sagebrush buttercup flowers. One of those quick, fleeting moments in the Rockies that makes all the patience and waiting worthwhile. These little mountain residents are constantly on the move, gathering food and preparing for the seasons ahead. Blue Skies. (Canon R1/400mm 2.8 III/1600th/f 2.8/ISO 1600)
