Allow me to bore you with a few more pictures of our 49th and the Yukon Territory. I promise I’m going to put his Alaska deal to bed soon and write about something else or don’t write. At least if I do it this way you don’t have to be nice and pretend to pay attention and enjoy the things.
I think we were running around the Gulf of Alaska on that tour boat when I quit last time. We will continue from there.

Ah, a Humpback finally got in range of the 300mm telephoto.

More Humpback, these guys put on quite a show. I probably have 40 pics kind of like this one.

Probably the highlight of the day. Three pods of Orcas, about 30 of them, traveling together.

Another of about a million shots of the pretty stuff

Harbor Seals, living the good life.

Just some more glacier

One of my favorites

See the pretty little Puffin

The Harbor at Seward
We said good bye to Seward and went north to Talkeetna and Denali.

Our ride for 27 miles down the Chulitna river

A good look at McKinley from my seat in the raft

The big guy “McKinley” or “Denali” if you prefer says goodnight

A ’53 Dehavilland Beaver, our ride to a glacier on McKinley

On our way there

More on our way there

Patty, on the glacier

On the way back

Welcome to Denali

Our ride. It was clean when we started.

The pic doesn’t do it justice.

Look Ma, no guard rail.

More scenery

Don’t need to tell you. It’s a mama moose

Just a pretty little lake deep in Denali

It had character and the food was good, that’s all you need.

A mama and her babies. I know, but I was shooting a 300mm out a bus window.

A little farther down the road. Papa bear

Good bye Denali, It was fun.
I still have about 25 or so but i am going to quit tonight, I’ll do the rest of them in a day or two.
Good Night and God Bless.
Dave
