Kodiak 9/17 - Bears 10

The first job after catching a fish is to take it to the bank (pun intended). Once there, that big bear paw finishes the job and it's mealtime. Do you see what I see in the background? More about that tomorrow.

All the action attracts the attention of one of the cubs so it's time to high-tail it to see if there are any leftovers.

Despite being family, it is best to approach a bear eating her salmon VERY carefully. You see the cub trying to read whether mom is ready to share just yet. The seagull decides he does not need to be very close at this stage and quietly walks away for the moment!

Mom left a few scraps and headed back into the river and caught another fish taking it to the nearest bank once again - much further away from us.

The other cubs slowly made their way back to mom as she was getting a bit far away from their morning nap location. I'm sure they knew their time at this river was about to end and it would be time to go back into the woods for the day.

Thanks,

Palo Duro Canyon

I was  pleasantly surprised by the number of comments back from my reunion e-mail yesterday. I appreciated each of them as most referenced similar feelings to what I tried to express. You just never know.... We met up with a couple Thursday night to go to the Texas play in Palo Duro Canyon. I grabbed a few quick photos of the canyon on the drive in. The panhandle has been blessed with a wet spring and the canyon was beautiful with all the green. If you have never been to this state gem, you are missing something. Growing up, I spent many an hour in this park creating great memories. The sky was clear and the temperatures hot for these photos. Thanks, Doug White https://jdwarchive.blogspot.com/

Springtime

Image
It's been a while since I messed with your mailbox so Howdy and I hope each of you are doing well. A few of you have sent notes and updates and they are always appreciated. This is too long but summarizes our life the past few months. We have been busy this spring with some major cleanup of the woods/brush around our house. The area in front of our house was cleaned up in the original construction. By cleaned up, I mean you could safely walk (mostly erect) through the area without fear of death by 1000 thorns. The other areas were left much less accessible with survival maintenance only but still no clear access. Though I have always wanted to see the garage-side area to look more like our front, we never made it happen in the 11+ years we have lived here. We had three obstacles that are more like excuses but they were very real. The first issue is our fundamental frugality. We could not bring ourselves to pay the several thousand dollars to have someone come in and do the work. Th...

Solar Eclipse - 3

Image
As I stated in a previous e-mail, my photos were not unique and I had seen many similar. I ran across a post on Facebook from the Holcomb Observatory in  Indianapolis, IN describing what they saw during the eclipse Monday. Their post gave more detail regarding the size and source of the red color that I did not know. They also photographed what appeared to be the "same" prominence in one of my photos (shape and location essentially the same anyway). I decided to zoom in on my photo and allow a software magnification to increase the size a bit (3X). I'm pretty happy with my handheld photo with a pretty normal equipment when compared to an observatory! This is my photo followed by the $$$$$ stuff!
