Home Again

 I left Homer Thursday evening, flew to Anchorage and then a connection to Phoenix, then on to Albuquerque. I had one delay on the last flight but finally arrived home. I had no food in the house so I went down to Madrid, met with my friends and had a lite dinner. I have been up for 38 hours now. 

When I got to Madrid I was told they had just been talking about me. Looks like I have a photo shoot. Nice to come home and have a job lined up.

Here are a couple of shots from my trip home.

Whiskey Gulch

Went to Whiskey Gulch to fish for halibut, didn't catch any. I was able to capture these picture of the eagle that were flying over the beach.

 

Eagle Posing

Went for my walk on around the harbor on the Homer Spit, I was joined by my sister and her friend. My sister has returned so I will soon depart, my house and dog sitting duties are over. 

This eagle was siting on a sign posing.

Starfish and Halibut

 Low tide at the Homer Spit I captured a few starfish on the beach. Walking around the Harbor I captured Halibut coming off the boat and being processed for shipping.

 Went to the Blessing of the Fleet at the Fisherman's Memorial. These are some of the images I captured.

Beluga Slough Trail

 

Duck at Beluga Slough

 Took a walk on the Beluga Slough Trail. This duck was a few feet off the trail.

Seaplane

Haven’t been out much to take pictures. The truck needed new brakes and was in the shop for two days. The loaner car was not the best so I hung around the house.

I have been seeking a porcupine to get a picture. One showed up in the backyard the other day, unfortunately the dogs chased it away before I could get a picture.

I have also been seeking newborn moose as there have been sightings around Homer.
