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, I've been obsessing over the return of the bears to Katmai and Brooks Falls this past week, but particularly over the last 24 hours since Bear 128, Grazer, returned with this year's coys. Too precious! #Alaska #KatmaiNationalParkAK GrazerCoys #SummerInAlaska
