Mom and baby came by for a late visit and a quick dip in the pond on this hot day. Both looking good and healthy. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

We're living in a cloud this morning, hoping the sun will eventually burn it off. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley

70º and gorgeous. They honestly issued a heat advisory for Anchorage today. It might hit 80º downtown. The horror. Guess I'll have to have a margarita. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #MyAlaskaWx

Managed to grab a couple of quick shots of this Canada Lynx in our empty lot below the house tonight. Love seeing them. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Lynx #CanadaLynx #WildLifePhotography

I love seeing porcupines in the cottonwood tree at the top of the driveway. They’re so much fun to watch. Nom-nom, dinner time. The orange teeth always make me smile. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Porcupine #WildLifePhotography

Kinda hard to tell if this is our great big cinnamon black bear or a grizzly passing through the backyard around midnight. Sure looks like a grizz. A big boi no matter what it is. EDIT: I lightened this up a bit, so easier to see than the original video #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Bears #WildLife

Boo-boo came by this morning for a visit and a BIG yawn ;) #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #BlackBear #WildLife

The backyard is very busy today. Boo-boo just stopped by for a visit and a dandelion snack. One of our local cinnamon yearlings that's gradually turning darker. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #WildLifePhotography #Bears #BlackBear

Moose update: A kiss for Mom. Mom and baby are back for another visit, and they're both doing great. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

Mom and baby porcupine in the backyard this afternoon. How cool is that? Waddle, waddle. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #WildlLife #Porcupine

But Mom, I really want to take it for a ride ;) #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose

Great. Now we can't use the front door. They've decided to hang out under our bedroom tonight. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography.

Back for another visit. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose

Mama and baby moose have been here all day. Lots more pictures. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

Hard to get any work done. The view from my wife's office downstairs. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

Back for another visit. Mom and baby moose have decided our backyard is a safe place to hang out. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

This is what it’s like at 11pm these days. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #LongDays #sunset

The Canada Jays are back and brought their juvenile for a visit this afternoon.

It's been busy in the yard! A bear last night and the first baby moose of the year today. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #WildLifePhotography #Bears #Moose

Why bother with trips to Denali National Park and Preserve when we can just see this in our yard. One of our cinnamon cubs from last year enjoying the sun tonight and eating fresh horsetail. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #WildLifePhotography

Now this is more like it! #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #MyAlaskaWx

10:30pm The long days are definitely here. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #ViewFromTheDeck #Sunset #MyAlaskaWx

This is what 10pm looks like these days. Not even close to setting. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #LongDays #Sunset

It finally feels like spring. May has kinda sucked so far. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #MyAlaskaWx

Brown (Grizzly) bear tracks in the backyard this morning. Looks like a big one! #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Bears

May must not have gotten the memo. It's 38º, with 70mph winds and snow blowing off the Chugach Mountains behind the house making it shake and rattle like a constant mid-level earthquake. Just lovely. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #NotSpring

What a difference a week makes. The snowshoe hares are turning brown quickly. I have no idea who keeps throwing carrots into our backyard ;)

Make it stop!!! #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Snow #NotSpring

1st Black Bear of the year around 10:15pm. Dark and overcast, so had to really crank the ISO on the camera. Having a nice back scratch on the phone pole just below our bedroom. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Bears #BlackBear

Our backyard Snowshoe Hares are just starting to change into their spring colors. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #wildlifePhotography
