Fun reminders of great times...enjoyed them all, David and thanks for sharing your images!!
Catching up after sleep time:
Dodie (luvmypets), thanks for viewing! I’m pleased you liked it.
Longshadow, I’m glad you liked it. She did know how to use it.
Flathead27ford, I’m happy you liked them. I’m not sure what you meant by “raffle”, though – I’ll agree the bald eagle was scruffy, maybe molting?
Mike (ksmmike), nice to see you. I enjoy sharing and am glad to have stimulated memories.
Imagemeister, thank you very much! You’re welcome, I like to share.

Talkeetna, Alaska
I have been to Alaska 3 times, in 2007, 2014, and 2021. All 3 tours visited the little town of Talkeetna, which is more or less in the “foothills” of Denali (aka Mount McKinley). Near the town one can take a jet boat trip on the Susitna River, which offers views of a replicated trapper camp.
I will use some photos from all three visits in this Set.

Some great shots of Denali! We've been in the area three times and have never seen the top of the mountain.

Thanks very much. I've been 3 times to Alaska and had the good fortune to have gotten several good shots of Denali. My trips have been in September -- maybe that's the key.
Excellent series and thanks for the tour, David.
Ah,,,Fond memories from when I use to live in Wasilla and visited Talkeetna often.
Ernest, nice to see you! You're welcome -- I like to share.
ORpilot, thanks a lot, glad I could engender memories.
dreff, thanks for the thumbs up (not the one usually used here, but OK).
Great set David. Thanks for a wonderful tour.

Thanks for coming, Bushpilot! Have I seen you before? That old car surprised me and I almost didn't get the camera up in time to get the shot. There were a couple of other strange vehicles that went by around that time -- pull up the car and check out the neighboring photos.

Some very fine photos of the Talkeetna area. My wife and I were there several years ago and found all of Alaska inviting and beautiful. During our visit the weather was not cooperative for getting photos of Denali so I appreciate yours. Thank you for sharing.

It was taken on our drive to Valdez. We had an opportunity to photograph Denali when it was totally clear.
