On almost every walkable part of shore there was a bear (or three)…
Bears everywhere…

A WEEK of Alaska Bears
This shot of an adult brown bear boar was taken at Crescent Lake Alaska. Did you know that bears are members of the pig family? That is why males are called boars! I was in a about about 30ft from him. He was much more interested in the Sockeye that were spawning by the tens of thousands all around him.
This was a very experienced boar. He was very still, just moving his head around to focus in the water, then he’d pounce. Bears down have thumbs so they have to maneuver the wriggling fish by stepping onto it then using their claws/paws to lift it to their mouths.
The sockeye turn BIRGHT RED (these photos are not enhanced) when spawning.
This bear never took any chance of loosing his fish in the water and always carried it to shore and hid in the trees to eat it.
Peek-a-boo
This seal kept popping up behind our boat. He followed us for several miles.
Amazon– Red Crowned Titi
I love seeing things I CANT see in the Pacific NW. We definitely do not have Red Crowned Titi Monkeys! They look so furry you just wanted to hug them. But I was getting a little intimidated when it VERY quickly started climbing the cable up to my platform above the canopy.
Don’t even THINK about coming any closer!
This horse was laying on the ground next to the sheep pen. He got up and the RAM ran right over and tried to head butt the horse. None shall pass!
Baaaaaaa
This is one of the newborns at a farm our WOW (women on wheels) group rides by often. We knew that about 20 ewes were due this week so we made a deliberate stop and were rewarded with lots of cuteness!
