Ebner Falls. Along the Perseverance trail in Juneau, AK
Wild geranium
Wild Blueberries
Gold Creek. Notice the aqua color of the water. I'm glad the camera captured it.
Yarrow
Alaskan Rain forest along the Perseverance Trail.
The light from above was not the sun. The forest was dark and I used a long exposure and the sky over exposed a bit.
Monkshood
Wild salmon berries
Clark Peak
Alaska Chief Falls
Rain on the horizon
Hubbard Glacier
Dragon Ice flow

It was a bit chilly out (and wet too)
Sitka Harbor
Fireweed
Totem pole outside of the Sitka National Historical Park.
Very nice trails and walk to see the totems in the park.
colorful totem
I love the top hat on this totem.
Salmon were jumping all over the place. This is the only shot I got where you can actually see part of the fish.
Had to get a shot of this tree growing out of the stump of an old tree. Should be interesting to see it in 10 years as the stump decays.
Lush forest.
Coho salmon moving upstream.
Wild Foxgolve.
Bald Eagle in the Alaska Raptor Center in Sitka
Ketchikan harbor
Who said to ignore those rainy forecasts for Alaska?
Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska
Very large King salmon running upstream.
Sunset south of Ketchikan
Same scene with a longer shutter speed.
Finally, a clear night, and full moon.
There she blows!
Humpback whale south of Juneau. The next series of shots were taken around 6:30am from the starboard side of the ship in the inside passage headed to Juneau. We saw about a dozen humpback whales that morning.
Harbor seals near Sitka.

Another series of Humpback whale photos. Some shots were taken in heavy rain and not as clear as I would have liked them to be.
