It wasn't until I looked at this on my computer that I realized that she was keeping an eye on me. Moments later she pooped, and then looked at me like, "So there!"
This from my trip to the Khutzeymateen Grizzle Bear Sanctuary. I wasn't looking forward to living on a sailboat, and shooting from a Kodiak boat. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The sailboat was great and our Kodiak Captain was AMAZING! He drove right up to the bears. This was one of the more serene moments
This is a mother grizzly with her four cubs walking along the shore. It was like we weren't even there. we just drifted along with them four about one half mile. Our Captain Thomas has a great and respectful relationship with the bears. We are all on long lenses and half a football field away.
He just saw his brother mating with a female. He'll never be able to unsee that
They are not fighting, the are courting. Moments before this photo they were mating. She walked away and the male pursued. Here she is gently telling him that she would like to see other bears.
Here the mother bear escorts here cubs along the shore. They are headed to a beach where the tide has just receded and they can dig for food.
If you need a gift for her, you can never go wrong with a Mani-Pedi. Bring your grinder.
The one day we got to walk onshore was this little island. The ground is very soft and we walked in each other's footsteps to minimize out imprint on the island.
Just outside our cabin in Jasper was this little guy and his brother. They were very happy now that the dandelions were blooming. They made a couple of trips each day to nosh on dandelions. Very Cute!
Their daily trip to eat some dandelions
Canada's answer to Ireland
This has been a test of the Bear Emergency Response system. This was only a test. The mother bear would turn and just make this huffing sound and the cubs would run up the tree.
