Cinnamon Black Bear
We got to spy on this little guy for a while up at the Glacier. Some tourists were there from South Carolina. We visited with them for a while and then when we left to continue our walk, we told them to be careful. They asked why, is the bear wild?

Salmon Berry
These raspberry-type berries are so yummy. They grow pretty large as you can see by the size in my hand. When ripe they may be red, yellow, or orange. Great for jelly!!! YUMMY

Salmon are Here!!!
We went to Mendenhall Glacier and the sockeye salmon are running! They are in the river and to the streams. We watched as the females dug the holes to lay their eggs and the males guarded the females to make sure all went as planned. Very awesome to witness! You need to get up here and see some of this amazing wildlife!!!

The yard is about ½ acre and behind Mike is a view of a duck pond and a view of this mountian...
