I have never been so far behind on my editing as I am now, but I'm getting caught up! So I'll be sharing some new photos from 2023 that I hadn't shared before now that they are adjusted. Here are a couple of first summer brown bear cubs nursing in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

We had a lot of photo opportunities with brown bears in fields of lupine this past June - definitely the most I have every had. It is still a challenging photo, as the bears are in constant motion, and the lupine can be as tall as the bears face.

This brown bear decided to lay down in the sand to take a rest, so I laid down as well to be at eye level. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

In many of the bird species in Costa Rica, the male and female appear very different. Here is a male (black) and female scarlet-rumped tanager. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

On the first day of my Costa Rica photo tour I missed out on capturing a close-up of a yellow-throated toucan since I wasn't carrying my camera. Was so glad to get another chance at it on my last day in Costa Rica. Osa Peninsula.

Scarlet-thighed dacnis. It is hard to capture an image of these guys showing their namesake scarlet thighs as they are often hidden while perching. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

Golden-hooded Tanager. The birds in Costa Rica are so colorful! This was from this morning. I like to arrive early before my photo tour so that I can make sure the feeders are going and look good. The lodge must be putting out food this year as the feeders are much busier as compared to the pas
