Alaska, at last

I finally have an opportunity to share some photos from our Alaskan cruise this past summer. These 3 photos are from a photography excursion my wife signed me up for. We were on a small boat sailing out of Auke Bay in Juneau. We went out looking for whales and other wildlife. We saw a lot of eagles and just a few whales. The whales were fairly challenging to take since we could not get in too close. I had my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 which helped but it would have been even better with a 100-400mm or more.

Here is a shot of an eagle taking off from a buoy occupied by seals. It was amazing to see so many eagles flying around in the wild.
