Odd Pictures from Trout Streams, Page 3
These odds and ends didn't fit into any of my other categories. Sometimes a really weird (or slightly twisted) picture opportunity presents itself and it's hard to can't pass it up. I think the oddest picture so far was the crayfish that grabbed my nymph and held on long enough for the camera.
Helpful husky. Taiga wanted to spend the whole evening swimming in tight circles around me.

Taiga and the Minto Flats
Abandoned ptarmigan habitat. I found a few white feathers from birds molting out of their winter plumage, but didn't see or hear any live ptarmigan.
Denali from near Murphy Dome. I don't know what the peculiar bright light is shining near the top of the mountain on the right side. It was conspicuous like this for several minutes. I don't know what's up there that would reflect sunlight (or emit its own light) and look so much brighter than everything else from 150 miles away.
Denali from near Murphy Dome. This was the clearest view of the mountain I've ever had from this far away (150 miles).
Spotting scope set up on the barnacles at low tide, looking for bears.
View toward the Minto Flats
Beautiful mountain valley where I got my caribou last year.
These dust storms are a common sight on the Tanana whenever it hasn't rained for several days. The river's channel, mostly over a mile wide, consists mostly of vast bars of dry gravel and glacial silt that's easily kicked up by the wind.
