Welcome back!

Grizzly Bear - Khutzeymateen Prov Park, BC

Greetings once again! 

My apologies for the lack of postings during the past year.  Enough of the procrastinating, time for some action and to finally follow what my heart, and countless friends, have been telling me all along - "Claus, get back behind your camera and start capturing the world as you see it!!!".  Stay tuned!!!

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

Cheers,

Claus

Spring melt is underway

Greetings once again from the Yukon!

At long last the spring melt is underway.  Balmy temperatures (+10 oC), blue skies and plenty of sunshine greeted my return north.  Local radio reports have announced that the first of the swans have arrived.  I also spotted my first sic-sic (ground squirrel) of the year foraging on shrubs in an old fire burn site.  These little critters have just emerged from spending close to six months hibernating under the snow.  Soon the grizzlies, sandhill cranes, eagles and geese will join the cast of characters that make the Yukon their home during the summer months.  Needless to say I cannot wait to join them with my camera in hand.

Todays' picture is of the Yukon River at Five Fingers along the Klondike Hwy.  Notice how the river has already started to melt.
