This is my first photo of a brown bear in the wild.
I have had other encounters with bears but could not take a picture. Either the bear was too close and I didn't feel safe to take a picture, or it was too far away, or he ran away to fast.
On this occasion he stayed just long enough for me to take this picture before he walked away.
I posted three shots of a Grizzly sighting taken on my way to the "Wings Over the Rockies Festival" in Invermere, British Columbia. They were right off the road. Stopping is frowned upon, but I could not resist the chance to get my first shots of this beautiful animal.

Ci sono momenti unici nella vita, come quello di incontrare un orso in natura. Eventi inaspettati ed impagabili che evidenziano la piccola casella ecologica che occupiamo nel mondo.
Girando in auto per le strade forestali della Slovenia in cerca di picchi ed allocchi può capitare anche questo.
There are unique moments in life, like meeting a bear in the wild. Unexpected and priceless events that highlight the small ecological box we occupy in the world.
Driving around the Slovenian forest roads in search of woodpeckers and owls can also happen this.

A large crop from the original, but I thought a portrait would work well with the dark basalt cliffs as a background. For greater emphasis, I have further darkened the background

Die Noppen sind 5-DM-Stücke, der Bär ist die BRD und der Fisch ist die DDR ;-) ... so sieht es der Künstler ...

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.

A young female returning to the sea after exploring the seabird cliffs of Alkefjellet. Our third and by far the best bear sighting of the trip.

è tutto grigio cupo in questa domenica di pioggia... mi serviva un po' di colore :)
A little troublesome, has already burst through the back gate, destroying my hummingbird feeder which I had forgotten to take inside that night. He left it in about 10 pieces...New gate 100$ and Hummingbird feeder 15$....could be a very costly summer....
It wasn't all birds at the Wings Over the Rockies Festival. I was lucky to find this female and her yearling peacefully eating dandelions off the road near Radium. I was able to pull into an open rest stop parking lot on the opposite side of the road and photograph them from there without disturbing them.
I heard on the radio that a long stretch of that road has a stopping ban imposed as of today and the rest stops along the way are closed until the bears move to higher elevations.
The East kootenay Park Rangers take a very dim view of people who stop during a ban or pull over on the shoulder to view the bears at any time. The fines for non-compliance during a stopping ban period can be in the thousands of dollars.
The stopping ban stretch is clearly indicated with signage and flashing lights.
