Aaron on the summit of Mt. Oberlin
Most of you know I just got back from NYC and have some photos from up there and I am way way way behind on posting some of our recent weddings and portraits, but I just had to take a minute to post about last fall's trip to Montana. I just now got the CD of photos from my hiking buddy in Seattle and it brought back great memories. Oddly enough as much as I love photography and wildlife/nature, I like to backpack without a camera. Maybe it helps me unwind to be without a camera for once. At any rate this is a trip I would have given my right arm for my camera as I had an incredible and rare wildlife sighting. I have seen tons of animals in the wild including hundreds of Grizzlies and Black bears, Moose, Bald Eagles, Mt Goats, etc etc and even a Pine Marten but 2 have eluded me: the cougar and the wolverine. That is until last fall when I watched a wolverine at clode distance for about 30 minutes. I was climbing Mt Oberlin with a friend and there he was on the rocky, icy, slopes of the peak. I only have blurry point and shoot photos that my friend took, but the rangers were amazed to see that it was indeed the rare and seldom seen Wolverine. Also the same trip had us up close with 3 Grizz and another 2 at a distance. Good times indeed! You may enjoy this little slideshow of some of the photos from Glacier and also the Missions with my wife's kin folk.
