He is a Latin Rite priest in Alaska, and takes amazing wildlife pictures. This one is of an Orthodox Church and it's cemetery. When you finish looking at these, click above on 'all my pictures' to see the other work. If you kids, well kids of every age will love them. He has also written several books on hunting and such.

You are welcome! I see they are from your stomping grounds. He was transferred there about a year ago and loved it.

I have a long standing dream of saving to visit Spruce Island off of Kodiak; I hear it is wonderful.

Wow Rose! I think Alaska must be so amazing!

Yes, I have followed him for a few years now, he ever seems to let anything stop him from sharing the Gospel. Even out in the wilderness he will build an Altar to say Mass on.

I think my favorite picture of him, is him sitting inthe middle of a lake, in one of those inflatable chairs. Holding his fishing rod and the bass he caught. Too funny!
