The year 2019 was a great year for photography overall. And best of all I had the company of my wife most of the time. My wildlife portfolio expanded extensively. We traveled and hiked many miles in Alaska, toured New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Jersey while visiting family, trekked on the Castner, Canwell, Gulkana, College, and Worthington Glaciers. Additionally, we spent seven days in Denali National Park, including a 3-day bike-packing tour, and took multiple hikes in the Chena River State Recreation Area and White Mountain National Recreation Area. In the summer we vacationed the Valdez area, including a cruise out to the Columbia Glacier, and we were destroyed by Devil’s Club on the Shoup Trail.
