I started The Admiralty Report in November 2011. This was the first photo I posted. Today I’m reposting it and announcing that I’m shutting down shop. I don’t know if this is a temporary or permanent thing, we’ll see. Thanks for following me, feel free to drop me an email at acjcorbett@hotmail.com , just to say “hi”.
Take care kids and don’t forget to turn out the lights when you leave.
I’m not sure if Freyja is one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever seen or one of the laziest dogs I’ve ever seen. She now lays down to eat her food, because you know… who the hell wants to stand up and eat?
Patience is allowing the smallest member of the pack jump on your head and chew on your ears. Sula really doesn’t look enthused by the situation.
Is it weird that I love living in a place where it is prudent while on the beach exercising the puppy to keep her on a leash, not because of the law but because of the hungry eagles circling ominously over head?
In da club.
Yes, those little brown dots are adult seals.
Harbor Seal and pup
Ice Ice baby.
Back by popular demand. Whales.
Unicorn Creek get a good run of Chum salmon. They may not be the tastiest treat but it’ll get you through the winter.
You’d think that when a bad ass predator like the orca swims by, the sea lions would stay on the beach. Apparently, the opposite is true. Although I couldn’t get them in the same frame, this was the scene that unfolded when a small pod of orcas tried their chances around a small island last summer. The bull sea lions rushed into the water to confront them.
When the salmon are spawning a multitude of fish cash in on salmon roe. Dolly varden are perhaps the most abundant of these opportunists where I fish. Cast anything that even resembles an egg into a salmon stream and you are likely to get a hit.
Eagle in flight. I’m not sure if I’ve published this before. Either way, enjoy.
Brown bear and cub. Most of the brown bears are in hibernation right now, lucky them. The weather is nasty and they aren’t missing much.
Me on a glacier.
