This gallery contains pictures I've taken of bears in the wild. Most are from locations in Alaska, including Katmai National Preserve.

This gallery contains photos I've taken of various raptors. I'm fortunate to live in an area with many types of hawks and a few bald eagles. I am lucky enough for some of the hawks to land near enough for me to get some great shots. Some shots were taken on trips to Alaska and other locations. A few were taken at our local Hawk Watch presentations. I will always note shots that were not taken in the wild. They're all gorgeous though either way.

Alaska is beautiful. Alaska is wild. Alaska is one of my favorite places in the world. This gallery contains photos that show the beauty and wildness of Alaska. There are a handful of photos included from the Canadian Yukon, just over the border. It's close enough that I think it's okay to include them here.

In addition to cool wildlife and incredible landscapes, I also have an appreciation for beautiful flowers. We've planted numerous flowering trees and shrubs on our property and we like to visit gardens when we travel. For instance, we've been to Butchart Gardens on Victoria Island, British Columbia a number of times. It is one of the most gorgeous places we've ever been and many of the photos you'll see in this gallery were taken there.

This gallery is devoted to glaciers. Most or all are that you will see are in Alaska. I've been to Alaska numerous times and many of those times on a cruise ship. I've cruised Glacier Bay and some of the fjords multiple times so I have had lots of opportunities to photograph these beautiful rivers of ice. I've also been fortunate enough to take a helicopter (a couple times), land on a glacier and hike around with crampons on. Those were mind-blowing experiences and give a perspective of a glacier that you can't get any other way. Enjoy the photos.
