So you don't agree

It's been an awesome summer so far. The weather has been great. We've had some days in the mid 80's, which is hot for those of us in Anchorage. I've been doing some volunteer work at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage in exchange for free access and play time.

My friend Amanda and I went there yesterday afternoon and it proved not to be a boring day. I haven't seen her photos yet, but she has to have some awesome ones for sure. We had everything from arguing brown bears to

baby moose

baby musk ox

black bear

and so many ravens that Alfred Hitchcock would be proud.
 
What a good day!

Oh how fun. Awesome shots!

I have a linky about momemts that show off the flavor of where you live. Seeing baby moose and fighting bear surely counts as a "This is Alaska" moment, and we haven't had anyone posting from that far up north. I'd love it if you'ld add this post.

Great eye for composition my friend...really enjoy your photography. I’m curious, if you were to recommend the best spot in Alaska to see landscape and wildlife, what would it be?

G'day Dave,
Haven't commented for awhile but this one got me. How far from the bears were you? Could you feel energy or the ground shake? Looking forward to your 'catching up' summer series.
Regards,
Gouldiae - down south!

Trail Guy - Anchorage has a lot to offer for landscape and wildlife photography plus other scenic areas are a short drive away.

Gouldiae- long time no see er ah read buddy. I was about 200 feet away. They were loud and got everything's attention but the ground didn't shake.
