A few from our roadtrip to Alaska. I'll put more up later but we are still on the move and I'm a bit short of time now.

That brown bear photo is fantastic. Is that sheep a Stone sheep?

Good eye on the Stone Sheep. Before the trip I thought there were only Bighorn Sheep in North America. The first two sheep pictures are Stone Sheep at Stone Mountain Provincial Park in the Yukon, towards the beginning of the Alaska Highway. There is a salt lick next to the highway and getting sheep pictures there is a piece of cake.
The one after the wolf is a Dall Sheep in Denali NP. The herd came down on the road and were all around the bus.
We also managed some Bighorn Sheep in Glacier NP (and some Mountain Goats too).
We had an incredible trip, thank you for your input. I've trimmed things down to around 2,200 pictures but am still somewhat overwhelmed. When I get a better handle on things I'l post more of them here.

If you put them in an online album, I would love to look at them. You have some great wildlife shots.
When we were in Stone Mt. Provincial Park the first time I remember the sheep coming down to the car, it was a trip.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with the lens I bought and the wildlife shots I was able to get. My favorite wildlife shots are at:

And some scenery. We had an awesome day in Denali NP.
The weather for our flight see the Denali summit was a bit cloudy but not bad.
Also had great weather for the drive up to Prudhoe:
Tombstone Territorial Park in the Yukon is a great place, something over a hundred square miles of tundra and mountains; a road, and maybe a hundred people in a campground.
Adjusting back to "regular" life sucks.

Damn, this makes me want to take a trip to Denali. Last time I went was during the "road lottery" and it was an exceptional Sept. day. You have officially instilled wanderlust in me today.

Amazing shots tigris

Thanks, I'm really pleased with how the wildlife shots came out. First credit should go to the Canon
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens I bought for the trip. It kicks arse and seemed to be the consensus pick of the wildlife photographers that were more serious about it than I was.
Secondly, anyone is going to get good shots on a trip like that over a 2 month period.
Thirdly, it is surprising how close wildlife will let you get in wilderness areas. Too damn close in the case of Brown Bears.

Yeah, I need to upgrade my lenses. Probably will before my road trip next Sept/Oct up north. Here in the S.E., it's not much of a problem outside of whale photos.
The abundance of wildlife in the Northland (Ak, BC, Yukon, NW Territories) is astounding. I second your opinion that it's very possible and not that difficult to get too close for comfort. Still, your wildlife photos are definitely worthy of praise as pointing and clicking isn't the key to successful photography. You do a great job.
Guy I know here does outdoor photography, wildlife and landscapes. He puts out calanders and books, does a fantastic job

This is what the Juneau icefield looks like BTW. The peaks you see are around 6,000 ft. The icefield is over a mile thick and spawns over 35 glaciers. Just behind the town, and is 1,500 sq. miles in area
This is one of Marks photos of fireweed near the Juneau airport. My house is located at the base of the mountains in the background, on Douglas Island

He's got some great pictures, especially the Humpback. I can't imagine getting that shot off, just seeing one leap out of the ocean like that would probably have me frozen in place. Getting a photo wouldn't occur to me until the ripples died.

He has a couple of photo books and puts out an annual calender for Juneau and S.E. Alaska every year.
