    Turnagain Trail

    Thursday, June 26, 2008, 03:24 PM [Photography]

    Two weeks ago my wife and I hiked Turnagain Arm Trail. Never know what you will find on this trail. We ran into a crowd of Alaska State Troopers at McHugh Creek. They would not let us proceed any further. Seems a black bear and her cub had taken possession of the trail. The view of the Seward Highway from the trail is awesome!

    This past weekend we came across a pair of mountain goats. The baby was very curious about us as we moved towards them. Mom was not concerned at all and did not even stand up. I was able to get some good photos without disturbing them.

    After hiking, we headed into Girdwood where I wanted to try out my new ND filter on a waterfall.

    Hi, thanks for the kind remarks!
    I enjoy your photos as well.
    Are you a full time shooter? I see you're a family man like myself. Do you find it hard to balance shooting with family? I find I'm pretty much shooting and then giving my wife a break!
    I look forward to more photos. Cheers, Wayde

    Michael,

    I have flown over the area, stunning. Hope for good weather, few bugs and friendly bears. I stayed at Island Lodge on Lake Clark for 3 weeks last year. Nice people.


    Eagle shots were on Douglas Island, Juneau. They are wild eagles and normally shy of people. I saw several on the rocks eating something and tried to sneak up on them. Of course they all flew away. Took me about 45 minutes of sitting still before they started to come back. I quickly filled my memory card snapping photos.

    I viewed your photos and instantly recognized Mendenhall Glacier.I have been to Alaska and cruised the inside passage 4 times.Each time I was in Juneau I visited the glacier.
    Your wildlife photos are stunning, especially the ones of the eagle in flight.
    I am an amature photgrapher. My goal one day is to capture photos like that.
