| A beautiful day to be in the skiff taking photographs of the delightful scenery. ...The wind was up, so it was bit choppy... |
| A day on the water with my best friend ~ my husband... |
| A person fishing off the shoreline of Tee Harbor... |
| A Bald Eagle soaring above the trees... |
| A Whale off the entrance of Tee Harbor... |
| It's a derby out there... |
| A crisp blue and clear day, so Bald Eagles were soaring off and on all day long... |
| Only on a very clear day was I able to capture this mountain behind Tee Harbor... |
| Waves breaking at the point of Tee Harbor... |
| Bald Eagles are so regal... |
| The sun is starting to set over the mountains, with a skiff off the entrance of Tee Harbor... |
| Tee Harbor, and to the left is the beach area where fishermen launch their skiffs... |
| Derby fishermen fighting a King Salmon inside Tee Harbor... |
| Well, the skiff is out of the water...we're heading home (no fish today ;) ~ this is a view of Auk Nu Cove where the ferry terminal is located in Juneau, Alaska |
| A deer on the side of the road on my husband's drive out to the fishing grounds, basically near the same place we saw a doe a couple of weeks ago... |
| He came upon two more deer further out the road... |
| He was lucky to capture close-up photographs of this whale while fishing from his skiff... |
| This is how close the whales swim at times to the shoreline, incuding near boats (it was feeding on herring)... |
| Friends crusin' by to chat with the hubs... |
| Brother Steve with his son Brian cruisin' by to chat... |
| A paddler couple fishing the derby in Tee Harbor... |
| The herring were in abuncance, so the Marbled Murrelets were generally swimming as couples everywhere... |
| The hubby waiting for King Salmon to bite the hook, although we did not have any luck catching them today, so we enjoyed all the beauty Tee Harbor has to offer... |
| People fishing off the can at Tee Harbor... |
| Scenic Tee Harbor... |
| A Bald Eagle and Seagulls keeping an eye on the Herring, while diving after them at times... |
| What regal presence Bald Eagles have... |
| Another Marbled Murrelet couple... |
| A unique capture of a Marbled Murrlet swimming among Seagulls... |
| Ahh...What a day; no fish this outing, although I sure enjoyed our time out on the water ! Post our fishing outing, Max is filleting out his 40 lb and my 17 lb King Salmon we caught yesterday in the derby that we had on ice - he's preparing to make a nice Mother's Day dinner; plus we hung our USA Flag out today... |
