We are back from another trip filled with Alaskan adventures. This year the itinerary consisted of taking a bush flight out of Dillingham to the first of four lakes that we canoed down (with the help of an outboard motor, thank goodness!!). I think it was close to 80 plus miles total over a week. We saw 20 brown bears at various distances, all of which had me wishing I had purchased a decent zoom lens, but I did what could with my 28-135mm kit lens.
I have TONS more to share, but have yet to even start going through them. Meanwhile let me introduce you to the first bear of our trip. This is a small male that visited us in camp several times during our one night stay, but was kind enough to let us watch him from our canoes for quite sometime.....I could watch these amazing animals all day if they would let me :)!!
