Mount Redoubt, Alaska

Thar She Blows!

I took this photo in March of 2009 when I was driving back to Anchorage from Homer where I had been photographing bald eagles.  Mount Redoubt erupted several times that month.

My trips to Alaska have always been for the purpose of photographing wildlife.  Of course, Alaska is also well known for its beautiful landscapes.  I’m feeling the need to go again — to photograph some of its great landscapes.  If you’d like a print of this image you can order one by clicking here.

Bobcats Are Special

I enjoy seeing and photographing all wildlife, but some species are more special than others to me.  Bobcats are one of those species, along with wolves, bears and eagles.  I’ll never get tired of photographing them.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of photographing at Yellowstone.  With each new trip I find new interests.  For example, I’ve never been very interested in photographing bison, but my last two visits have been in the Spring and that has meant baby bison.  I have found bison calves to be about as photogenic a subject as there is.   This little guy became very curious about me and kept moving closer for a better look.  How can you not like a face like this?  Spending time with the herds and watching these little “red dogs” run around and interact with other calves and their mothers has also given me a new interest in the adults.
