More Rare Than A Polar Bear…

July 3, 2008 - second entry

My fingers are stiff from standing on the bow in a cold wind. I don’t wear gloves when taking photographs…a sacrifice I’m willing to make when I have a herd of walrus in my viewfinder.

Our first walrus sighting was a black smudge on an ice floe that was darker than all the others. Zooming in, the smudge became distinct - five walrus were resting atop each other. The sentinel raised its head - that was the moment I could see the two tusks.

Laurie has just announced another walrus sighting…  I’m off …

I am looking forward to the slide show from the trip! Sounds wonderful.

I took more than a thousand images - at least a half of them of ice. Talking with my fellow travelers - all of whom had taken at least as many ice images as I - we concluded that to share with others, we would have to edit our ice images to the best three. LOL.
