“What Did One Eagle Say to the Other Eagle?” (Re-post)

By James Braswell | Published April 13, 2013

(This post originally published in December 2010). … “I’m going fishing!” During the past couple of weeks, the Missouri weather has been cold. Coupled with decreased wildlife activity, not much to photograph. So I’ve been doing a lot of image editing from the past few years, trying to make myself get rid of those images […]

So, How Good A Fisherman Are You?!! (Re-post)

By James Braswell | Published November 12, 2012

(This post originally published in July 2010) Yesterday, while working indoors (still raining here) I was going through my Lightroom database of images from the last 7 years, doing some “hard core” editing to free up more space on my hard drive.

More Fishing Bears

By James Braswell | Published November 15, 2011

And here’s one final posting on the black bears of Anan Creek. This series of images was taken as a black bear, directly below me, walked out into the creek and quickly caught a salmon as it rushed by: Still got lots of black bear images from […]

Fishing Experts

By James Braswell | Published November 14, 2011

In today’s post, I’ll share some images made of black bears catching fish at Anan Creek, during my recent Alaska trip. Bears are excellent fishing machines, both blacks and grizzlies. At Anan Creek, the creek was raging when we visited this year, due to the excessive amounts of rainfall that the Inside Passage received during […]
