Bear peeking his head up, just below Diamond M Ranch Resort |
Bears are usually not a problem for human beings, preferring to keep to themselves. As the saying goes, "they are more afraid of us than we are of them." It is always a treat to get to watch one of these amazing creatures moving, in that slow ambling way that bears do, through their natural environment.
In June, King Salmon begin heading up the rivers, many fishing enthusiasts delighting in the hunt for the "big one," barbeques sizzling with sumptuous the first fresh salmon steaks of the year. Out in the bountiful waters of the Cook Inlet, halibut guides aid their clients as they pull in the large flat fish, the ocean and the surrounding mountains looking on. And fishing for trout in a local lake or stream can almost be a magical experience during the month of June, the canoe floating silently along next to loons, lilly pads, and dragonflies, perhaps startling a family of ducks just around the bend. The water everywhere is teeming with life, the surrouding forests as well, and it all combines to produce a feeling of wonder and awe.

Jack and I spent New Years Eve at the Diamond M Ranch Resort. The scenery was just beautiful! Imagine watching fireworks bursting over the snow covered Kenai River valley ~ Fantastic! The Green Tree room is like a honeymoon suite with beautiful kitchen area, living room, and jaccuzi. Gorgeous furnishings in each room. This resort is as wonderful in December as it is in June. Happy Trails in 2011
That is awesome, Jack and Debbie! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. :)
