A black bear cub pauses to take a breather from its ravenous feeding of dandelions along Juneau’s road system. Each spring dandelions line the roadside, what Juneauites call “Out the Road,” starting around mile15. The yellow banquet, although invasive, provides a much-needed food source for the bears. Thank you for visiting and enjoy – Camera: #Nikon #D850, Lens: # Nikkor 80-400mm, […]

Indian Paintbrush, Glacier Bay NP, Alaska #3066
An Indian paintbrush flower stands out against a blurred field of blue lupine. I love using my long telephoto lenses to isolate flowers by intentionally putting the background out of focus to give the image a painterly feel. Glacier Bay is often thought of as a frigid land of snow and ice and cold blue […]
Chocolate Lily, Juneau, Alaska #3063
Right now the Point Bridget State Park meadows in Juneau, Alaska, are erupting in endless fields of wildflowers, including chocolate lilies, shooting stars, irises, and buttercups. After years of shooting flowers with macro lenses, I have started to use my extreme telephoto lenses almost exclusively. I have been shooting most of my flowers shots for […]
