Alaska trip photos

Orca and AugustineCrabbingGlassy calmFoggy Homer harborFilling upReviewing footage

I went fishing twice and saw whales both times - the orca with Augustine happened on the second trip, when I’d figured out that you just have to take a LOT of shots and hope you get lucky. Even though it was very calm for the middle of Cook Inlet, with the boat moving and the whales moving it’s hard to get them in the frame and in focus, so getting one lined up with the mountain was crazy lucky.

The Billikin is for sale!

The Billikin

Looks like he (she?) needs some sanding and varnish, and maybe a check for rot at the base. It’d be a great spot for that ‘marital aid’ shop you’ve always dreamed of opening! Or maybe just a gift shop selling stuff like this.

The Fishin’ Hole on the Homer Spit

The Fishin' Hole

This is from my trip to Alaska last summer. I broke my clavicle a little behind where I was standing when I took this.

Broke my clavicle…

I slipped off a boulder at the Homer Spit and broke my right collarbone into at least 4 pieces Saturday night. So, I’ll be here in Alaska a bit longer to get the bones connected and to recover a little. I’m only going to have a left hand for a couple of weeks so there won’t be much typing going on.

On Vacation

I’m in Alaska on vacation so I’ve been ignoring my email. Sorry! So, if you’ve emailed me recently, I’ll probably get back to you sometime after the 4th of July.
