Alaska

More salmons and lotsa wildlife!

24 July 2014

I’m so grateful for the salmon we’ve been getting. Hopefully we’ll get some halibut soon too. I prefer halibut to salmons. 
Today was great. We’ve seen so much wildlife lately. Today (from pretty far away) we saw a mama bear and a new cub and like a yearling, all together! So cute! Bears are pretty rare to see and we saw a black bear on Monday and three today!
Also, we saw a bunch of seals, and the girls were trying to catch jelly fish/jellies, and of course we saw plenty of sea birds (even gray fluffy babies!) with a stop at gill island. And when we got back to the harbor, there was a seal kicking back on the docks, which is fairly rare. Oh yes, I always see sea otters in the harbor too. There’s lots here in kachemak bay. I love my home. And I saw three moose today, one was a cute baby! I love seeing moose. 
There’s lots of wildlife here in AK, and Homer, and it’s always so exciting to see. I never tire to see a moose, or otters… These living creatures are all just great and fascinating. Eagles don’t impress me too much anymore, because they’re just all over here, but they’re pretty amazing strong birds. 
On the beach the other day we saw one catch a fish out of the water with its large talons! :)
I’m really grateful for this beautiful earth and the magnificent creations. Don’t even get me started on all the great plants! :)
