Scenic Sunday, Camera Critters, Watery Wednesday / Kenai Fjords, Seward, Alaska, USA

 -Please enlarge for best views-

We took a 9 hour boat tour of the Kenai Fjords while in the Seward area of Alaska.

The scenery was marvelous!

...and, it was COLD!

Amazing rock formations!

It gets colder by the hour...

We're entering the glacier area at this point.

You can see seals in the water and floating on glacial ice!

I took many photos of the glaciers...this is just one close-up.

It was a cloudy day which gave the glaciers extraordinary color!

This little guy stole my heart!

Macro Monday, That's My World Tuesday / Desert Hummingbirds

I photographed these little hummingbirds at Indian Canyons, Palm Springs yesterday.  There are several canyons in this area and we actually visited Palm Canyon.  My husband and I went on a hike and were delighted to see several dozen hummingbirds hovering around bird feeders at the trail head there.

Camera Critters / Meet My Friend...Mr. Bobcat!

I had the golden opportunity to run face to face into this bobcat while on my trip to Arizona. My friend had gone into our room, which has an outside entrance. I was lingering outside with my camera and taking pictures of the beautiful well lit red rocks of Sedona during sunset. Suddenly I looked up to see this bobcat staring at me withing 30 feet of where I was standing. I froze like a statue! I never thought of taking a picture of it because I didn't want to take my eye away from what it was doing...I think you know what I mean! Soon it just sauntered off and left the property and headed out into the desert. I told the people who run the small resort and they said this little bobcat cruises through their property quite often. They pulled up it's photo from their computer and emailed it to me so I would have the photo when I returned home...so, here it is! It's a little blurry but, I can imagine the blurry image I would have gotten with my shaky hands!

I guess that means a bobcat isn't aggressive unless its fearful or feels cornered. I actually feel so lucky to have seen it like this...but, I was quite nervous!
