The glow of the setting sun over Anchorage, Alaska
Sunset colors hnaging in the air well after the 11:41pm sunset.
The beginning of wildflower season. Lupine are blooming along Turnagain Arm.
Sunset at Glen Alps log rail fence.
A patch of lupine growing along the guardrail of the Seward Highway.
Little stream I found while hiking on Emerald Cove Trail, Whittier, AK
Semi frozen tarn in Hatcher Pass, AK
Missing the beautiful summer days.
Catchuing sunset on the mudflats near downtown Anchorage
A wooden set of steps surrounded by blueberry, huckleberry, and hemlock. Hiking in Whittier is a magical experience.
Mchugh Creek
These week old moose are showing some sibling love. If they are anything like my kids, they'll be fighting before you know it.
The setting sun paints the top of the mountains at the end of Turnagain Arm, Alaska.

Dead stumpperfectly reflected in the waters of Eagle River Nature Center.
Whittier beach on a sunny day in Alaska.
Gold cord lake. The water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom in most spots. The lake gets deeper further back. Towards the back the water turns a blue/green color.
What is left of Byron glacier in Portage, Alaska. In a little over a decade the glacier has retreated from the valley floor below to where it sits now, at the top of the mountain. Even in it's diminished state it is still a magnificient sight.
The Purples and pinks of the susnet over the Matanuska Valley reminded me of cotton candy.
A beautiful hidden waterfall in Southcentral Alaska.

Heading in the right direction
This floatplane looks like it is all ready to fly into the sunset.
Just a random sunset in Alaska
Beach life in Alaska is just a tad bit different. Personally I think the views are better.
Found this neglected trail covered in wildflowers. The beauty of Alaska.
All the melting snow coming down from the mountains has created some very fast moving creeks and rivers. I couldn't get any closer due to all the spray from the waterfall. This was shot in Whittier, Alaska.
Hiked Gold cord Lake trail today. The hike was easy. The weather was great. The insects were relentless.
Another beautiful sunset on Baranof Island. The fireweed starting to flower is the unofficial countdown to our first snowfall. It can snow at any time once the blooms reach the top of the freweed stem
Went out to take stormy sunset photos. The sunset part didn't pan out like I was hoping for. I did happen upon someones salmon waste.
Polychrome Pass, Denali, Alaska
Random hiker walking back to his vehicle. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to include him in my shot with the field of lupine. This was shot at 10:15pm, just before sunset in the Portage, Alaska
I took this shot from the top of a hill looking down on a valley. This lone bull moose was peacefully eating while we all watched.
Kind of strange to see the Seward Highway this empty. In a couple of days there will be vehicles almost bumper to bumper. Most of the drivers will be heading to Seward, Alaska to participate or watch the Mount Marathon race
Today is done. Tomorrow is near.
Found a huge patch of ferns while out hiking today.
Beautiful hazy sunset taken from Glenn Alps in Anchorage, Alaska
What started out as a trip to Hatcher Pass to go hiking ended up turning into a Sunday drive. We discovered that our new dog Ula'Ula gets car sick VERY easy. We almost made it to Independence Mine, but we ended up having to cut our trip short and drive home.
Sitting on the rocky shores of Sitka. Watching the last light of the day givve a spectacular light show.
Lupines at Sunset
Beautiful field of Lupine. Wildflowers in Alaska
Triplets were a little spooked by my arrival. They quickly ran to the safety of momma moose.
Some years the Seward Highway sees a plethora of Lupine. Some years there are barely any. I'm thankful that there are plenty this year. This shot was taken during sunset on 5/26/2022 along Turnagain Arm, Alaska
A decent sized patch of lupine growing in the shade near Portage, Alaska.
A small opening in the spruce trees let's a little light to shine through.
A mini waterfall along Winner Creek in Girdwood, Alaska
What started out as a trip to Hatcher Pass to go hiking ended up turning into a Sunday drive. We discovered that our new dog Ula'Ula gets car sick VERY easy. We almost made it to Independence Mine, but we ended up having to cut our trip short and drive home.
Probably my best shot of the susnset from this weekend in Sitka. This was taken at Sandy Beach recreation area.
