Speaking of wild life. Sharon and I have been married since 1974 (except for 18 years from 1988-2006).
Well, nobody's perfect!

12 NatHistoryTourDenaliNatPark (45 over cor focus)
Another Ptarmigan, taken with 300mm lens, handheld while leaning over others on the bus. (On this tour, every animal seemed to be on the opposite side of the bus, so I had to stretch, shove, and lean to get a shot) .
This one is over processed to get the semblance of sharpness.

Solitary caribou with some velvet still on antlers (date: August 14, 2017). I'm guessing it is a female.

This native girl (one of the 5 Original Peoples of Alaska) gave a long talk and sang songs and did dances of her native peoples. I guess it was interesting; it was so windy and with my hearing I could not understand much of it.

Artic Ground Squirrel. Larger than those in the lower 48, they are Obligate hibernators that spontaneously, and annually, enter hibernation regardless of ambient temperature and access to food. Their body temperature varies as they periodically shiver to raise it, but a body temperature of -2.9 degrees C has been recorded, although the brain temp never goes below freezing (0 degrees C).

Cold and windy, but Sharon was happy to have coffee.

Up towards the building of our room on the River walk behind the lodge. To the right between the signs is the River Walk and entrance to the hotel's wilderness walk, which I chickened out in doing alone. I got about 15 steps in the dense woods, and remembered you are safer from bears in a group, so I turned back.

The Princess Denali Wilderness Lodge borders the Nenana River. There is a nice boardwalk for about 150 yards along the top of the bluff overlooking the river. This view is looking down river.

It is a big hotel, especially for Alaska.
