Cooling off

From last summers brown bear tour. I leave on Friday and can't wait. This nice large bear seemed to enjoy cooling off a bit in this small stream. I got right down in the stream to get as low an angle as I could.

an animal I would love to see, never mind photograph, in the wild one day.
love the setting here, the bear seems to have enjoyed the muddy water a lot.
