I made this shot from the safety of my car. Normally I prefer not to work this close to bears, to minimize habituating them and also to keep their stress as low as possible. In this case I parked on the roadside about 100 yards away and photographed as he came toward me. He walked past with scarcely a glance in my direction - other than this one. Dandelions buried by the previous day's light snowfall were on the menu. Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta.
