I'm an outdoor lover here in Homer, Alaska. I'm retired and am tying up loose ends in hopes to have more time to get out and photograph all of the incredibly beautiful surroundings in Homer.

The stare down, the battle, and having had enough. This sums up the Ring-necked Pheasant roosters' fight for territory.

Catching the stare-down between two Ring-necked Pheasant roosters. Swirling tails and wings. Light not being the best (but the usual for around here), I had my aperture opened up and my shutter speed not as fast as I would normally have had for birds moving. I like the sense of motion this shot portrays. The defeated backs off from his adversary.

Maui vacay. Sunset behind the island of Lanai taken from our lanai!

#tropical #landscape #landscapephotography #palms #tranquil #peace
Orange sunset with orange sun-rays shooting upwards from behind the clouds in a radial escape from the backside of the island of Lanai in the left background. From the left mid-ground to the left foreground, the ocean reflects the orange sky, while in the right foreground, the top of a palm with silhouetted fronds takes up nearly half the frame while showing the orange sky and reflected water through it's slits.

Last year's Sandhill Cranes. Hope to see another crane family around in the coming weeks!
#birds🪶
Two sandhill crane colts framing a parent's face. Eating while on their growing stilts! Nope, not quite there yet. Give it another couple more months, though... Early life outing for these colts. Marching along in knee-high tall grass!

Sunset over the city of Anchorage, Alaska. Volcanoes Mt. Iliamna (far left between trees), Mt. Redoubt (to the right of the trees), and Mt. Spurr (right side). These volcanoes are active and, on occasion, vent off steam.

The yellow full moon rises over a ridge surrounded by huge saguaro cacti. A past vacation to Arizona.

Morning fog opens up, revealing the fishing grounds.

Purse-seining fishing boats are going after red (sockeye) salmon in the early morning outside the fog-obscured mouth of Sadie Cove.

Two Sandhill Crane silhouettes pass under a full moon, yet over the backdrop of the Kenai Mountains and Kachemak Bay on the way to their evening roost.

Two Arcus roll clouds. I had never heard of these before. Captured while hoping for a nice sunset that never happened. One passes as another appears. Calm between and ripples while overhead.

#alaskasky #clouds #meterology #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #reflections
The first of two Arcus roll clouds. As the first disappears from the right of frame, another appears on the left. Notice the nice reflection and calm water. While passing overhead, the Arcus cloud makes a disturbance on the water's surface. As the roll cloud leaves, the water returns to it'd former reflective calmness.

The moon goes to sleep as the sun awakens. Mt. Iliamna.

This red fox was on the edge of the Arctic Ocean in Alaska. It had stolen a greater white-fronted goose's egg from the nest and went to bury it into a gravel bank for later. It is shedding it's winter coat for summer's.

#Alaska #redfox #fox #arctic #wildlife #photography #nature #alaskasky
This red fox carried the stolen egg from the goose's nest, out in the wet tundra, several hundred yards back to where he would bury it. Digging with both front paws into the loose gravel, the red fox had to go a ways for the large goose egg. After digging the hole deep enough, the red fox dropped the goose egg into the hole. Now, the red fox uses it"s snout to push the dirt and gravel back over the egg.

Looking 50' below me, the ice fringed creek drops into a beautiful pool surrounded by it's mossy environment.

Looking 50' below me, the ice fringed creek drops into a nice pool surrounded by a mossy environment. The icy stream enters and exits another emerald pool through it's green surroundings, gradually adding more frozen edges along it's course to the ocean. Moss draped trees across the narrow cut that courses it's way through the forest.

Virgin Creek Waterfall in Girdwood, Alaska. I'd heard about this place for decades and finally went and saw what people were talking about.

Fresh Breath! An orca rises for a breath in Kachemak Bay with Grewingk Glacier looming in the background.
