Faraway Friday-Der Ice Bear
That’s what polar bears are called in German… I think that is perfect!
This bear was seen at the edge of the permanent ice edge at about 82 degrees north–that’s WAY up there. But she looked healthy and was very curious about us.
Wildlife Wednesday–Polar bear w two cubs
We were fortunate to encounter 22 bears. All but one seemed very healthy.
This mom and cubs were feeding on the very last remains of a whale. The cubs were thought to be about 1 year old.
The deer RUN Port Townsend
This is such a typical scene in Port Townsend. Deer “helping” to prune as a gardener works in her yard.
This was near the street festival and stopped traffic in all directions with visitors snapping photos and shocked that they could get so close.
This was ONE mom and 4 babies…I think something must have happened to another mom.
You’d be crabby if they tried to cook you too!
Monday was the last day of crab season. Wow was it a good one!
Arctic day 6-A big girl!
This was a big girl! You can tell females from males because females have necks! That is why only females are collard for research. The males necks are bigger than their heads and the collars slip right off.
Arctic day 3: Walrus Wash
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.
