In August 2007, my family went to Alaska for a fishing trip. I was never much into fishing but we had soooooo much fun!
The guides did all the hard work (put the icky bate on the end of the hook) and all we'd have to do is cast and catch some fish!
The scenery and wildlife was also awesome!
We also had some wonderful weather. I guess it usually rains there during August, but the whole week we were there it was around 60 degrees!
So here are some of the photos from the trip converted to Black & White
There were tons of bears everywhere!
In this picture, the bears were just having a good ole' time wrestling :)
Most of the time, they just kept to themselves.

The view across the lake, before a storm.
My sister and a fish she caught, most of the fish we caught were around this size.
I just wanted to share this last picture because this mountain no longer looks like this...
I don't know if you remember, but last summer this Mountain, Mt. Redoubt, erupted.

Oh my goodness Katie! What a wonderful trip! I love your pictures. The scenery is just gorgeous! Wow! I read your little about me clip about being one of the boys : ). Fun!
Love these pictures...I really want to go to Alaska. I'm not a fishing kinda girl but the nature alone is amazing. Great shots!
Great pictures! What a fabulous trip!
Such incredible scenery! Thank you for sharing such great memories!
Love the sparkle off the water in the first shot.
That bear photo...WOW! It's really amazing, complete with splashing water. Perfect. And those mountains were made for black & white :) Looks like such a fun vacation. I've always wanted to go to Alaska. And I really don't mind fishing, but think having someone else bait my hook for me sounds pretty great :)
What a great trip filled with memories! Your images are beautiful. The picture of the bears is really captivating and I almost need my sunglasses because of the way the light shines on the water.
Thanks for reminding me of FILM!
Great job!!!

LOVE your pics...they make me want to be outdoors. Oh how I long to be able to enjoy the sunshine. My parents went on a trip to Alaska about 10 years back. They said it was the best trip they have ever been on. My favorite picture I have is one of my mom on an ice berg where there is some water puddled in a few spots and the water is the prettiest blue I have ever seen. Hmmmm...an idea for next weeks B&W wednesday.
I love your photos! Very pretty!
These truly are stunning and make gorgeous black and whites. I'd love to travel to Alaska!
Oh my gosh....you must have practically been right next to those wrestling bears....that's incredible!
I really enjoyed all of these and now feel there is a necessary trip to Alaska in my future!
The shot before the storm is incredible!! You have a great eye!
Wow! These are amazing! I love the view across the lake and the snow capped mountains best. Just beautiful!
