LAST RV OUTING OF THE SEASON

Off to the Haines Summit hoping to see the bears again in fall colours.  No bears but the colours in the Dezadeash Lake area were at their prime.  Colours before that were almost finished.   Temperatures were some of the best of the years.  Black Flies out big time.

KENO CITY, YUKON

Just returned from a trip to the Keno area.  Hadn't been there in ten years or enjoyed photographing the old mining centre and wildlife along the way.

HAINES ROAD GRIZZLIES

Busy Grizzly Bears

We have just spent several days on the Haines Road.  Many Grizzly Bears and lots of other wildlife--moose, lynx, muskrat, swans and others.  One morning we saw three bears and a lynx within ten minutes of leaving camp and a total of eleven bears by days end.  Most of the bears were grizzlies with the odd Black thrown in.

BLACK BEARS

On a recent drive I came across a mother Black Bear and two of the cutest tiny cubs.  One was brown and the other almost black.  They stayed around to be photographed but the lighting was less than great.

The following day was overcast.  I went back to try to find them but no luck.  I did find one other bear that stayed for a few shots.
