The Alaskan coast is rich and teeming with life both in the water and out. It is fascinating to realize the color available to photographers! Red sea anemones contrast with the green algae-covered tube worms. The lavender… ummm… ‘slime’ offers an interesting accent!
Welks, barnacles and other crustaceans cling the the rocks waiting for the next high tide.
A huge cedar stump inside the forest tells of a past that was not so kind to this magnificent woodland. Logging still persists here as a way for some to get rich while taxpayers pave the way… literally.
So many plants to study on the forest floor, yet so much more to see and discover! Often, however, a region as vast and overwhelming as southeast Alaska is best learned through its smallest details.
Chocolate Lilies adorn the forest edge… a nice find on our return to the skiff, along with a few other wildflowers like Fireweed, Twisted Stalk and Paintbrush.
Cascade Cove offers a scenic respit as the thundering falls drowns out all other sound as a Bald Eagle soars overhead in search of a meal…

Wonderful photos – the shot of Cascade Cove is wonderful – would make a nice large framed shot. Looks like a wonderful area.

Thanks Forestal! I have edited my Alaska images from this last trip down to about 750 (from 3000) and have many images I would love to frame… too many to fit in my house! But yes, Cascade Cove is one that makes the top list!
