Carving Bear...My Sweet Reward
Several years ago, early on a Sunday morning, we left Moose Pass, to make our drive back to Anchorage. About 8 miles
south of Alyeska, hubby and I passed a distressed motorist. It was just at day break with light traffic on the road, so we decided to offer help. The young man was out of gas and unfamiliar with the area. We knew there was a station at Alyeska Ski Resort where he could purchase gas and most likely get a ride back to
his auto. It did take time from our trip, but we always prepare for interruptions. After we left the motorist, I settled back into my seat with camera in hand. At mile marker 100 we saw a grizzly in the highway. As we approached, he darted back into the woods. Slow we edged our way… while checking the woods for our furry friend. First we had a peek and them a full view of this curious bear. He made his way into a wood carver’s lot. We were only able to pull part way as he entertained us about 30 minutes. He chewed on electrical cords, played in the saw dust, tried to get into the port-a-let, and inspected the wooden statues. Has we not stopped to give aid to the young man, we would have missed the “Carving Bear”…my sweet reward!
Barrow/Utqiagvik, Alaska-17141
During a past birding trip in the northern Alaskan town of Utqiagvik/Barrow , a mate and I were driving the coastal road looking for birds that might be flying along the beach and to our absolute shock and surprise there was this Polar Bear standing on the frozen Arctic ocean, no more than a 100 yards of the beach eating possibly the left overs from dead seal or whale?
We ended up watched him from the beach for about 20-30 minutes, "it seem like hours" before he moved on. During the time he was eating, every once in awhile he would look our way, just to make sure we were not getting too close.
looking through the camera view finder it added to the tension as it made him feel even closer, this is definitely a wildlife highlight and experience I will never forget.
Brown bears are considered adults at the age between 3-5 years. They are usually chased away by the mother around age 3. These are young bears that seek comfort with each other after they are no longer welcome by their mother. There is comfort in numbers.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
A female Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) and her two young cubs wander the shores looking for some food on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. This family group was observed during our trip to Glendale Cove off Knight Inlet on a scheduled Grizzly Bear Tour with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours out of Telegraph Cove on the north end of Vancouver Island.

Most of the Bears love music and they like to hang near the gear. This guitar is my PRS Santana SE. I recently did some work on this guitar where I floated the trem, changed strings, and adjusted my intonation. Guitar players would know what I mean. I have been watching YouTube videos and learning more about guitar set-ups. I am a drummer first but also play guitar. I have two acoustics and 8 electrics.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

I travelled to Kananaskis Country - a wilderness and recreational area west of Calgary, Canada - one cold, wet May morning, looking for bears. I knew that the weather would keep visitors and traffic to a minimum. I was fortunate to encounter this young bear, wet in the rain.
I can't state with certainty what type of bear this is, an immature black bear or a young grizzly. I suspect the former, as I can't see a hump, as the ears are not too short and as the face is elongated. But I'm not absolutely sure. Does it matter?
It is amazing how fast a Polar Bear can run. In this photo, the bear ran by me at a gait, not full speed, and the gait was amazingly fast. I'm thinking, if a polar bear wants a human and the human is out without protection, the polar bear will win 100% of the time.
at least 15 mph. Glad I was in the safety of a vehicle, however, the glass and sheet metal would just slow the bear down.

Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) female patrolling the shores and uplands of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary in the Khutzeymateen Inlet along the west coast north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.
The inlet is about a 30 minute flight by float plane, north of Prince Rupert. The tour of 6 wildlife photographers (including myself) was 5 days long and run by Ocean Light II Adventures. We stayed at the entrance of the reserve in a 72 ft sail boat (Ocean Light II) and accessed the reserve daily in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity.

Bear Butte is in the background. There were periods of intermittent light fog over the mountain during the day.
An adult Black Bear (Ursus americanus) is observed wandering along the shoreline as we headed out to Knight Inlet by boat in search of Grizzly Bears.
We were on a wildlife tour, primarily for Grizzly Bear, with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours out of Telegraph Cove on the northeast tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
It is a boat tour which holds about 10 people and you are out for most of the day. If I remember, it is about 90 minutes travel to Glendale Cove but you never know what you may encounter, in this case a Black Bear.

Shot this black bear later in the day and had that sunset looking appearance. Looks a bit brownish...Glad it stayed put...
Macro Mondays - Teddy Bear
Image measures 2 1/2" top to bottom.
Michaels Crafts store has just about anything you need, lol. I found this strand of teddy bear beads and a bag of very tasty gummy bears there. As much as I love the little stuffed bear I shot yesterday, I thought this would be a better shot for MM. I also played with (and ate) a few of the gummies. I might use them for another challenge this week...if I don't eat all them all first!
Happy Macro Monday : )

Das Foto wurde von einem bezahlten Versteck aus aufgenommen. Die Bären wurden angefüttert, leben aber in freier Wildbahn.
The photo was taken from a paid hide. The bears have been fed, but live in the wild.
