The gardens around homes in Seldovia, Alaska, were very lush with greenery and bright flowers. This view was a tiny corner of a backyard garden. Seldovia is a small (population 200+) town on Kachemak Bay, approached only by boat, usually from Homer, across the bay. It was fun taking the boat ride to Seldovia and spending the afternoon birding and shooting interesting sights in town, before heading back to Homer. The boat trip included bird and whale watching. 8/22/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
This was a view from the tour boat I took out of Seward, Alaska, in Resurrection Bay. I was impressed with the lush green of the grass and trees heading up into the mountains. There was so much beautiful scenery throughout the 9 hour trip. 8/21/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
When I was in Alaska, I took a 9 hour wildlife boat tour out of Seward, with the destination the Northwest Glacier. This shot is of the upper part of the glacier, forming peaks in the ice and snow. I liked its turquoise color. While our boat idled there, before turning back to return, we saw several pieces of ice "calving", making a quite loud noise announcing its separation from the main glacier and falling into the sea. 8/20/20 My website" www.sparhawkphotography.com
