Working on dinner (Ursus arctos)

Wow, so glad you explained this one! Seems to me you have one like this where you're fairly close to the animal. Love this in motion shot-well done!

Cooooer... this is a brilliant action shot (though I was fearing for your safety until you explained yourself Donald )

A wonderful capture.

Fabulous closeup of this magnificent Brown Bear. Exciting!!!!!

Good one Donald, don't get between her and the cubs, lol, just joking, you know that !!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Vicki - You're correct. I have one of a boar grizzly in the same area that was foraging along a stream and came into my view when he was only about ten yards from me. Since I had my truck right beside me with the door open, I took a couple of photos and he ignored me completely. This was on an earlier trip and the technical apspects of the image are not nearly good enough for me to display. I was still learning that new camera and almost none of the shots I got were of very good quality, technically, on that trip.

Terrific photo of a lovely mother bear in action! One can feel the excitment, action, energy of the moment! Must have been quite a thrill getting this photo! Thanks for including us in the fun!
