These are photos I took of a bear wandering through our yard in Alaska. The wilderness is truly just out our back door here! For more on what we have been up to in Alaska, come visit us at my new Alaska blog.
Alaska black bear laying by the deck. Take a close look at his paw!
I love his brown snout. He looks almost cuddly, doesn't he? (disclaimer-he's not!)

Gosh, your photos are incredible! I'm so sorry that I missed you when you came through Denver! I was having phone trouble and in trying to port my number to a new service plan my service was semi-cut off for three days :(. I'll drop you an email soon and hope to catch you in AK at some point!
I am an Alaskan who loves to travel-the new experiences, the sights, sounds, smells, and especially the people. It is amazing how people all over the world are willing to open up, sharing with you a small piece of their lives and showing you a window into their world.
I also love my home in Alaska-the open wilderness, the mountains, the beauty, and, yes, even the long, cold winters!
This blog is a place for me to record and share my experiences, photos, and my sometimes pointless musings.
O, how incomprehensible everything was, and actually sad, although it was also beautiful. One knew nothing. One lived and ran about the earth and rode through forests, and certain things looked so challenging and promising and nostalgic: a star in the evening, a blue harebell, a reed-green pond, the eye of a person or a cow. And sometimes it seemed that something never seen yet long desired was about to happen, that a veil would drop from it all; but then it passed, nothing happened, the riddle remained unsolved, the secret spell unbroken, and in the end one grew old and looked cunning . . . or wise . . . and still one knew nothing perhaps, was still waiting and listening.
