Lockett Meadow

After an early morning hike on Inner Basin Trail in the San Francisco Peaks, stopped by the tank in Lockett Meadow to enjoy the reflection of the snowy Peaks. 2009-05-30: Saturday evening, we were sitting on the front porch after our evening walk, enjoying a cup of chai and watching the sun set. There had been rain during the late afternoon, and heavy clouds had descended over the Peaks, hiding the mountain from view. The clouds had lifted in time for our evening ritual, and we noticed there was new snow on the upper tips of the Peaks. As we sipped our tea, we joked â€œIf we were really motivated, weâ€™d get up early, hit the Inner Basin Trail at dawn, and get some good photos before the snow melts offâ€¦â€ 2009-05-31: â€¦so, at 4:00AM we stumbled out of bed, grabbed some coffee, got dressed, grabbed more coffee and rolled out the door around 4:30AM. We drove up the mountain, and hit the trail around 5:15AM. There was a bit of a breeze making the hike rather chilly. Everything was wet and green, and the aspens created a delectable aroma. Past Jack Spring (1.5 miles from the trailhead) we hit the frost line, and the vegetation sparkled (and the air was noticeably chillier). We arrived at the Inner Basin (the point where thereâ€™s a shelter and pumphouse, and all the Peaks are visible) around 6:45AM. Weâ€™d expected some shade still at that hour, and were delighted to discover the sun was shining right up through the low point in the Peaks (the north-eastern side, where the wall was blown out during an eruption), lighting up the entire Inner Basin for us. We wandered around a bit capturing various shots, then headed back to attend to our dayâ€™s activities. Hiking report View all the photos from this hike

Newcastle upon Tyne Quayside panorama, on a reflective sunny morning

I had to get up early to get this shot but at least I had planned for it, by checking the weather, sun position and wind speed. The light was perfect as well for a short time. There is always the X factor that you can't factor in though and for me it is usually scaffolding but thankfully there was no scaffolding around this morning.

Erin tasting the grass

It was just her second time outside and she was very curious about everything. :) I've been very busy lately with school, my job and just life in general, so I haven't had much time to spend with the hamgang. This morning I decided to get up early so that they could each run around outside before their "bed time".

Alaska - Magnificent Brown Grizzly Bear

A close up head shot portrait of a healthy, curious female coastal brown bear is all wet after an unsuccessful attempt to catch pre spawn Sockeye salmon where the waters of Wolverine Creek empty into Big River Lake, on the west side of the Cook Inlet near Lake Clark National Park. These bears spend weeks grazing on the fresh grasses in late spring and early summer, before the coastal salmon runs start. These coastal dwelling bears are very similar to grizzly bears, which live 100 or more miles inland, but they get much bigger due to plenty of food sources such as grasses and salmon. Lake Clark National Park is one of the largest areas in the world where Brown Grizzly bears are protected from hunting. While Wolverine Creek is located outside the park, there are many bears in the area which concentrate around Wolverine Creek when the salmon start to spawn. This popular summer tourism destination allows the few visitors lucky enough to take excursions from Kenai and Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula to visit Wolverine Creek to see not just one but many of these magnificent creatures, one of the largest land predators in the world, often while fishing for salmon themselves.
