The World Up Close

Here in Alaska, we are heading into prime time for wild flowers. It starts in early June and rolls on through August. Lupine, wild rose, forget-me-nots, columbine, monkshood, fireweed… and so many more. Alaska is known for its grand landscapes, and they are grand. But the macro world has so much to offer here. Here’s a small selection of some recent images, taken over the past 2 weeks.

I’m heading back to Cordova tomorrow. Absolutely, positively, one of my favorite places on the planet. I will probably be out of contact for a while, since wifi and cell coverage is spotty there… at best. But that’s one of the reasons I like it so much, it is one of the best places to unplug. Until I return, I hope you all have a great weekend – and get out and shoot, wherever you are!
