More Salmonfest art at the Ninilchik Fairgrounds that I have never seen before. Just beautiful! #Alaska #NinilchikFairgrounds #Salmonfest #SummerInAlaska
These next few sets of photos were taken at the Ninilchik Fairground, which is also where Salmonfest is held each year. I have not been to Salmonfest in a few years so all of this was new to me. Needless to say, we have some extremely talented humans in our state! Enjoy! #Alaska #SummerInAlaska #NinilchikFairgrounds #Salmonfest

A black bear on a trail somewhere near Anchorage. Photo by Lacee Johnson. I share this because I ran into one of these guys while walking on one of my favorite trails last week. As I walked up a hill and rounded the corner, I heard rustling behind a bush on the side of the trail; I stopped and a black bear, not quite this large, took off into the woods. I went in the opposite direction, walking very calmly. Once I thought I was far enough away, I stopped for a moment and could still hear the bear so I turned around again. Never have I been so relieved to get back to the parking lot. In 24 years in Alaska, this was my first encounter with a bear on the trail and I hope it was my last. #Alaska #BlackBearsOfAlaska #SummerInAlaska
So...anything happening in US politics today??? I have been busily watching the Grazer bear family on Explore. So precious are these littles! OH, and I am totally supporting #KamalaHarris for President. #KatmaiNationalParkAK #GrazerFamily #GrazerCoy #SummerInAlaska
A few more pics from today. We stopped at Bings Landing in Sterling to see how the fishers were doing. There were many there all along the river. #Alaska #SummerInAlaska #KenaiRiverAK #Fireweed
