Happy National Wildlife Day!
Happy #NationalWildlifeDay! Celebrated on September 4th, National Wildlife Day is about we can do to protect endangered species and their habitats. This bear encounter in @sequoiakingsnps was one of the best wildlife encounters I’ve ever had and perfectly exemplifies how habitats and species are intertwined. The bear might not be overtly threatened but Sequoias and their environments are under constant threats from wildfires and global warming. We have to protect one to save the other. Getting to see this bear was a sublime experience; he paid no attention to us and was content to hunt for roots and berries in the middle of the meadow, about 100 yards from the trail. This gave me ample time and security to set up my tripod and document his work as the sun began to set lighting up the trees around us. It was a perfect moment. Swipe through the gallery to see the sunset, too. A bear and a sunset amongst Sequoias! Time stood still. It was a wonderful moment that’ll be with me for a long time.
