This female walrus (females tusks point together-males point outward so they can poke each other) got quite a bath trying to make her way back to shore.

A week in the High ARCTIC!
I have just returned from a 17 day “life bucket” trip to the high arctic. It has been on the books for 4 years. But Covid put a blanket on that for several years.
It was beyond amazing and I’m going to take a week to show some highlights, and then throw some others in on Faraway Fridays.
This shot was taken at the permanent Ice Edge at 82 degrees north in uncharted waters above Nordaustlandet Norway. The bear here was about 2 football fields away peaking over the edge of an ice berg (see below)
He got up and started speed walking toward us, jumping from ice flat to ice flat.
These guys can REALLY MOVE!

This sweet lil bunny is why all the foxes are so healthy on San Juan Island.
Wildlife Wednesday-Tanzania Don’t even think about it!
This Cape Buffalo is having a starring contest with this lion. I think he’s saying “I have these big horns and I’m not afraid to use them.”
Wildlife Wednesday–Stay close little one
Taken in Tanzania. The lil Zebras are so fuzzy!
Faraway Friday-Tanzania “Don’t Bug Me”
This lion had just fed–thus the extra red head. The gnats were all over him. Look closely at his face…
Wildlife Wednesday- Vigilant beauty
This baldy was following us from tree to tree while we boated around Lake Crescent.
