An initial pursuit of royalty using Alaska's Deshka River waters resulted in an encounter with the king salmon entourage only.  The smaller forerunners gave hopeful signs of a later celebrity appearance.   -  Doug

BEARing Success

A return trip to the upper Kenai River’s edge provided excitement other than the surge of reds (sockeye salmon) attempting to out-muscle rod and reel. Patiently fishing the clear flowing turquoise water we were amazed and entertained by the appearance of a large male brown bear fishing for a breakfast of salmon and eggs on the opposite shoreline.  At mid-day a mother brown bear with 2 first year cubs crossed the river in our direction a short distance downriver. Late in the day a male brown bear made a silent appearance without the comfort of distance between us.   Suddenly appearing from behind the furry dark brown figure was edged in blonde by a lowered sun shinning from behind. The symbol of Alaska’s wild approached our fishing location apparently smelling  fish on stringers in the water near our feet.  The contemplative bear, however, seemed as nervous as the few of us who momentarily were uncertain of a cherished memory outcome.  Our good fortune was that the seemingly transient male was also a guest to that location.  The local resident bear would have been much more aggressive considering the opportunity of fast food delivery laying near our feet.    – Doug

Alaska's Kenai River is blessed annually with two separate runs of sockeye salmon. The red fleshed piscatorial acrobats challenge the determination and skill of anglers fishing this renown Alaska river. Bald eagles, bear, and seagulls also monitor and manage the river's shoreline during summer's season of plenty.  - Doug

Celebration For All

Celebrating the spring season is a delightful occasion.  Joyful cheers are universal, whether it be in recognition of the power and hope resulting from Christ's resurrection within the Christian community or the reinvestment in a New Year of opportunity by the Buddhist community.  For all, it is a time to be glad.  In climates of dramatic seasonal change the spiritual understanding of victory over death is declared each spring season when the natural world reaffirms this biblical promise.  

In Alaska ecstasy occurs when Nature transforms a frozen, hibernating condition to one of renewal through movement and new life.  While winter's cold splendor may be alluring, only the resurrection event of spring offers a warm embrace while preserving the future.  Alaskans know the certainty of Nature's springtime promise and the aliveness it provides.  Happy Easter!    -  Doug
