Here's another glimpse of the grizzly bear that made an appearance at our home not long ago. Fortunately, we haven't spotted this impressive creature again. As the temperature rises above 70 degrees today, my thoughts drift to this majestic animal and what it could be up to. I can only imagine it is enjoying a refreshing dip in a nearby lake, perhaps catching a few fish while fending off pesky mosquitoes. I genuinely wish this incredible creature all the best and sincerely hope our paths don't cross again while I'm out hiking. The wilderness is its home, and I respect that. Let's both enjoy the great outdoors from a safe distance!

La Petite tortue ou Vanesse de l'ortie, Aglais urticae, est une espèce de lépidoptères de la famille des Nymphalidae.
A cow moose and her calf indulge in the lush willow leaves and vibrant grasses, savoring their meal as the rain gently falls around them. Once they’ve had their fill, they gracefully make their way into the protective embrace of the trees, finding refuge from the downpour. It’s a beautiful reminder of nature’s balance and the bond between mother and child.

In the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness, a magnificent red fox strides confidently, its presence commanding attention as it carries a snowshoe hare home for dinner, a testament to its success in the wild. This bold display, parading past our front door, serves as a powerful reminder of nature’s relentless cycle. While the sight of adorable leverets hopping around can tug at our hearts, we must confront the reality that this is the essence of life: predators must eat, too. Embracing this truth helps us appreciate the delicate balance of the natural world and the crucial roles that every creature plays within it.

The ermine, also known as the short-tailed weasel or stoat, is a charming and intriguing creature that showcases Alaska's extraordinary wildlife. Despite its small size, weighing just under half a pound, this remarkable predator proves that great power can come in small packages. With its impressive hunting skills, the ermine can take down prey, such as rabbits, that can be twice its weight. This extraordinary adaptability and prowess make the ermine a true standout in Alaska's rich ecosystems. We've had the pleasure of observing this particular ermine darting back and forth through our yard for days. It's a swift creature, and today, it stopped in front of our garage just as I stepped out for my afternoon walk. I was prepared for it to flee, but I took a chance and managed to snap a quick photo. It's a good thing I did, as it didn't stay long before moving on.

After exploring our yard and house, peering into windows, and walking onto our back porch, the grizzly bear from two nights ago settled in for a snack of bird seed. Thankfully, it hasn't returned since that night. It was merely passing through in search of food, as bears often do. In light of this, we made the responsible choice to remove all bird feeders and store them away. While this may have momentarily puzzled the birds, they'll adapt and find food elsewhere. We'll gladly set the feeders back up when winter arrives, ensuring our feathered friends have the nourishment they need once the bears are fast asleep. By taking these precautions, we're not only protecting our wildlife but also creating a safer environment for all.

Imagine getting ready for bed, only to glance out your window and catch sight of a magnificent bear strolling across your front yard. In that instant, I knew sleep would have to wait. Heart racing with excitement, I grabbed my camera and prepared to capture the unforgettable moment.
What followed was a mesmerizing display as the grizzly tore apart two bird feeders, desperately trying to reach the seeds inside. I should have taken them down sooner. For nearly two hours, this captivating creature entertained us by climbing trees, circling our house, and peering inside with its massive paws pressed against the glass, drool cascading down like a waterfall.
At one point, it settled in a tree about eight feet off the ground, surveying its surroundings with an air of dominance. Finally, as night fell, it retreated into the nearby forest, but not without leaving us on high alert. Encountering a grizzly is not something to take lightly; it's a powerful reminder of the wild beauty that exists just beyond our doorstep.
