Fall at Denali National Park in Alaska means gorgeous autumn colors and hungry brown bears. To get ready their long winter sleep, bears spend the summer and fall packing on the pounds – gorging themselves on salmon, berries and grass. Sleeping snugly in their dens, breathing only once a minute and dropping their heart rate to 8-10 beats a minute, bears will live on their fat stores during the dark, cold winter. Photo by Jacob W. Frank, National Park Service. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 9/29/16.

Traffic in Denali National Park in Alaska can sometimes look like this – a bear ambling along a winding road surrounded by incredible vistas of mountains and wildflowers. The park’s one ribbon of road runs through low-elevation taiga forest to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, culminating in North America’s tallest peak – Denali – at 20,310 feet.

All boards are shaped, of course, but some have unusual ones.
Two of these boards are brand new ideas. One is the California bear, which shows a walking bear in the style of the bear on the California state flag. The second is the result of me finding a unique piece of quilted Black Walnut, and the perfect use of that wood was as an oval serving piece with a canted edge. That board sold on the first day it was shown.
Enjoy!

Skunks are known for their scent but usually only attack when cornered or defending their young. However, this iconic smell is not their first method of defense. A skunk will growl, spit, fluff its fur, shake its tail, and stamp the ground. If you miss those telltale signs then get ready to have a bad day. This pic was captured at Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Wyoming. Photo by K. Theule, US Fish & Wildlife Service. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 9/29/15.

A hidden gem in the Badlands, Theodore Roosevelt National Park stretches across more than 70,000 acres of western North Dakota. The park preserves an area of land that profoundly impacted President Theodore Roosevelt — who protected approximately 230,000,000 acres of public land during his presidency. The park has become a beacon for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts with its abundant wildlife, scenic drives and miles of trails. Photo by Brad Starry.
