About this image:
"You talkin' to me?"
A quick look towards shore, cruising near Tlingit Point,
Glacier Bay Park, Alaska, revealed this young moose walking
near shore. Have seen and experienced many moose (...or is
that mooses or meese?) in the past, we were surprised to see
this moose in this setting. Usually moose like soggy, marshy
areas to feed, but with the retreat of the Glaciers at such
a fast rate, the new vegetation and forest has been quickly
followed by several species of animals including the moose. |

About this image:
Yet another Alaskan Sunset
Whether you travel the Alaskan waterways and in particular
Glacier Bay by private boat or cruise ship, you will be
treated to many magnificent sunsets. Sunsets from a boat or
cruise ship are particularly beautiful as you have a large
expanse of water bordered by a distant shore and everything
is bathed in the glow of the sunset. This sunset was seen
from South Sandy Cove in Glacier Bay National Park. |

About this image:
Black Bear looking for snacks or starting a fire?
While anchored in South Sandy Cove, we took the
inflatable catamaran dingy for a spin. As fate happens,
a few minutes later we saw this Black Bear romping around on
the beach - right behind Mad Dog Voyager. We zipped back and
drifted quite close while making pictures. The Black Bear
was so busy he didn't even pay any attention to us. On the
photo, it looks as though he is either blowing on a few
embers to get a fire going or he is playing a game of
hide-and-seek with a few snacks. |

About this image:
Barnacles for lunch anyone?
We were intrigued when we saw what this Black Bear was
doing. With his great fore paws, he kept dragging them
across the surfaces of the barnacle encrusted rocks.
Presumably (because we didn't close enough to actually ask
him) he was crushing the barnacle shells and eating up the
barnacles inside them. |

About this image:
Black Bear casting shadows on his lunch
He kept on for about 1/2 an hour, turning over rocks,
scraping barnacles and having a good time. Knowing how hard
and sharp the barnacle shells are, it is surprising to think
how tough and strong the pads on his paws must be. |

About this image:
Coyote checking out the Mad Dogs
A short while after the Black Bear left, we returned to
the sailboat. We saw a small figure approach from the
distance. A young coyote also decided to cruise the
shore and check us out. He walked along the rocky shore
until he came to a grassy cleared area, where he
promptly lay down for a rest. Suddenly we heard howling,
yipping and barking from this noisy little fellow. About
10 minutes later, with no response from his other coyote
friends, he got up and vanished into the trees. |
