With all the BPNer's posting bear images, I thought I'd join in for one image.
My daughter wanted to go, and I thought it would make a great graduation present...so off we went to Alaska.
I was in Katmai at Brooks Falls for a lovely 2night/3day stay. When I booked I would have been happy to see a few bears, but I wasn't anticipating bears at every step....Not sure if they were the same bears but we photographed over 30 different bears and met others from all over the world doing the same.
A few encounters were unplanned and close, but I never felt threatened or worried.
I guess my only fear was running out of Memory Cards...:o
The Image: taken from at least 150 yards away, not the best light, but one of my favourites..this bear just didn't like gulls near him or his fish...
