It’s a good thing I didn’t set any rules for my Photos of the Week challenge. This week I want to share a photo and a video I took of a storm that moved in suddenly on Saturday. I know plenty of people think it rains a lot here and that it rains all of […]
I’ve shared a lot of stories/photos from my trip on the Alaska Marine Highway, but I have more! When I decided to go to Alaska I wanted to bring my dogs with me. The original plan was to drive. After thinking about it and some sound advice from my dad, I decided to take the […]
I almost blew my Photos of the Week goal. This is the first week all year that I didn’t take a single photo using my Nikon. Luckily I took some cell phone photos and this one might be worth sharing. I was feeling a bit disappointed to be returning to Seattle after a quick weekend visiting […]
I found myself back in Alaska this weekend to help my parents after they lost nearly everything they owned in a fire. While there I had a chance to get photos of some more eagles. Here are a few of my favorites. The first photo shows three eagles in flight (two mature and one immature) […]
Grizzly sow and cubs, prancing caribou, majestic dall sheep, and hidden moose (not to mention the moose charging) were all amazing, but the landscape of Denali National Park and Preserve was also beautiful. I already shared some of the landscape in my post about the sunset. I spent several hours sitting in my car, at […]
Getting a sunset photo in summer (and even in the spring) could be challenging unless you want to stay up very, very late. In the middle of the summer there would be a good chance of catching a sunset and sunrise within one hour of each other. There wasn’t that much daylight while I was […]
I don’t care how many moose I’ve seen in my life, I get excited every time. During my Alaska/Canada road trip I saw 38. Of those, eight were in Denali National Park and Preserve. The thing about moose in the spring was they were shedding and sometimes looked a bit ragged. They also blended in […]
When I decided to take and post photos every week this year, I intentionally didn’t set any rules. I never said I’d only pick my best photos. Instead I have focused on my favorites or even most interesting. This week I definitely choose photos I thought were interesting because of the story they tell. To […]
I loved the blue sky, white clouds, and green trees along the Parks Highway on my way from Denali National Park and Preserve and Fairbanks.
The questions I was asked the most about driving (at least part of the way) to Alaska had to do with road conditions. The part of the highway that is within Alaska (Delta Junction to the Border) is in good shape. I only drove a portion of the highway within Canada (the Border to Whitehorse). […]
