Gorgeous! Last year one landed in my back yard (we live close to Lake Erie so they are common, but not in peoples yards!) I won't post a pic cause it was taken thru the window screen, but I did have to let the "boys" out to chase him off after he ate my favorite Koi

Thank you! I used to take these guys for granted when I lived down in coastal Alabama, but I have come to appreciate them more since moving up here where they aren’t as common. Sorry about the loss of your Koi, lucky it only got one.

Consider yourself repped. Repeatedly. These are utterly stunning, Dave.

Default Alaska

Deep in the Alaskan wilderness remain a few mountain ranges whose exploration and description remain incomplete. This is one of the few places on earth where true mountain exploration and adventure into the unknown is possible.During the summer of 2007, our group will penetrate one of these little-known ranges, the Talkeetna Mountains. The Talkeetnas lurk in the vast south-central region of Alaska, far from normal air routes and tourist trails.
