  • Getting good macro shots of insects in their environment takes a lot of patience and good close up lenses and a tripod. For the budding entomologist, science student, or photographer, I would recommend starting on  butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, grasshoppers and the larger, slow variety of insects.  Besides, they are some of the most beautiful.

  • Scenics are everywhere in Alaska.  From the top of mts., to the blue of the glaciers and oceans, to small biomes, the vast landscapes, to the ubiquitous scenes everyone has come to expect of Alaska. Point your camera and close your eyes and your images will not dissapoint you. A photographers dream most of the time. The engineering science of building a beaver dam is incredible.  This common rodent, mammal, is a  relentless builder.  Constructing a dam across a flowing stream is a feat most men could not figure out how to accomplish.

  • Alaska has a large variety of birds, big and small.  Tourists come to Alaska just to see some of the more unique species, found only in Alaska and the far north.  Many large birds, ie. eagles, owls, cranes, herons, gulls, ravens, geese, etc. make Alaska their breeding ground or live here year round.  These baby gull chicks are camoflaged against a similiarly colored rock.  The science of camoflage is necessary for the protection and survival of the species

  • Certainly the most sought after animal sighting in Alaska would be a bear or wolf.  They are magnificent mammals and sometimes they are very near the roadway. Do not approach them, stay quiet and calm and stay near your car, and scan the hillsides and along rivers with binoculars.

  • Most Alaskans are starved for the sight and smells of spring flowers.  The greenhouses provide some relief, but nothing is like your own home grown flowers.  Most flowers bloom on the Kenai around May-June.  Pretty much springtime in Alaska.

  • Each year, during the red salmon run in the Kenai River, on the Kenai Peninsula, thousands of Alaskans flock to the shores to dipnet for reds for  their take of subsistence fishing.  It is a most unappealing sight for most of the locals to see the hords of people come, although some sights are quite entertaining and it does bring dollars to the local economy.

  • The moose is not the most photogenic animal in Alaska, but you ask the tourists and to see a moose is a large part of their Alaskan protocol.  Food is very scarce for the animals during the Alaskan winter, so when spring shoots and green leaves arrive, they pig out and have calves.  They can be very aggressive, especially when they have young babies or they are hungry, or in the case of breeding bulls.  Here Mom and baby share a special moment of love.
