GregLanier > Taken 9/11/06...it was raining and as I passed this lake a rainbow appeared.  You can't tell very well but it was also raining.  One of those moments when everything is just perfect!
GregLanier > Same lake where the rainbow appeared but you can't see it from this photo but you can see a seaplane taxing to take off in the center.
GregLanier > The story on these two are that they are probably 3 years old and live near the confluence of the Russian and Kenai rivers.  The bear on the right is eating a salmon he just caught, salmon were everywhere and there are dead carcases all along the edge of the river like some slaughter had taken place.  The mother had been with them this summer but apparently had kicked them out as they are now old enough to get along by themselves.
GregLanier > Another picture of a 3 year old bear.  You will notice "stuff" along the edge of the bank and what looks like stains on the fallen tree.  Well, that is dead salmon carcases and "parts" the bears left behind.  I'm sure that a salmon poking his head up through the water and seeing the carnage would think "holy mackeral, what happened here?"  At the start of the salmon run the bears will catch a salmon and just eat the belly of the fish, the bottom side.  That's only a small part of the fish but it contains the most fat and so he eats that and throws the rest of the fish aside.
GregLanier > This is Lake Skilak which is a very large lake in the Kenai Peninsula, I'd guess it's at least 20 miles long.  This was taken at the end of a very cloudy and rainy day.
