Allium ursinum
The Latin specific name ursinum translates to 'bear' and refers to the supposed brown bear's taste for the bulbs; folk tales describe the bears consuming them after awakening from hibernation.

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!
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.
Just a few seconds of indirect light painting on this rock there in the Dolly Sods there at post sunset.

Der Bear Lake ist ein ganz ungewöhnlicher See an der Grenze zwischen Idaho und Utah im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten. Der See wurde wegen seiner einzigartigen türkis-blauen Farbe als "Karibik der Rockies" bezeichnet. Die im See schwebenden Kalkteilchen verleihen ihm bei besonderer Lichteinstrahlung seine außergewöhnliche Farbe. Wir hatten das Glück den See bei aufziehendem Gewitter zu sehen. Zuerst war er dunkelblaugrau und verwandelte sich dann, als die dunklen Wolken vorbei gezogen waren, unter dem gleißenden Sonnenlicht in eine Farbschönheit.
Bear Lake is an extraordinary lake on the Idaho-Utah border in the western United States. The lake is known as the "Caribbean of the Rockies" because of its unique turquoise-blue color. The limestone particles floating in the lake give it its extraordinary color when exposed to special light. We were lucky enough to see the lake when a thunderstorm was approaching. At first it was dark blue-gray and then, when the dark clouds had passed, it turned into a color beauty under the glaring sunlight.
Ebony was not at all pleased that I would not allow him to go outside and play with his buddy the bear.
Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) wandering the shores of the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Reserve in search of a mate. The reserve is on the end of an inlet along the maritime coast north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

A very cute teddy bear seen in the gift section of the Cupboard Cafe. He’s sitting on the paws of a big black bear! Meet cute for Smile on Saturday!
Excuse me if I’m late replying to comments. We were out of town for a few days. Thanks for your views, faves, and comments! ‼️
A wide angle view of the Prince Of Wales Hotel from part way up the Bears Rump trail, where the 2017 fire remnants are still very visible. Regardless, the views were spectacular and as a bonus, the rain we saw coming our way passed to the south of us.
From what park staff tell me, low lying brush is the first to bounce back and the pines come later. We did see birds, ground squirrels, and judging by the pellets and urine stains on the trail, there were quite a few bighorn sheep in the area as well.
A week or so after we walked this trail, torrential rains washed some of it out onto the parking lot below and much of the park was closed.
2 year old, 400 pound male grizzly, Max is the name!
There are about 55,000 wild grizzly bears located throughout North America, 30,000 of which are found in Alaska. Only around 1,500 grizzlies remain in the lower 48 United States. Of these, around 1,000 are found in the Northern Continental Divide in northwestern Montana. About 600 more live in Wyoming, in the Yellowstone-Teton area. There are an estimated 70–100 grizzly bears living in northern and eastern Idaho. Its original range included much of the Great Plains and the southwestern states, but it has been extirpated in most of those areas. Combining Canada and the United States, grizzly bears inhabit approximately half the area of their historical range.
Although the once-abundant California grizzly bear appears prominently on the state flag of California and was the symbol of the Bear Flag Republic before California's admission to the Union in 1850, the subspecies or population is currently extinct. The last known grizzlies in California were killed in the Sierra foothills east of Fresno in the early 1920s.
The killing of the last grizzly bear in Arizona in 1936 at Escudilla Mountain is included in Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac.
In September 2007, a hunter produced evidence of one bear in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness ecosystem, by killing a male grizzly bear there. In the North Cascades ecosystem of northern Washington, grizzly bear populations are estimated to be fewer than 20 bears. One sighting of a grizzly bear in 2010 has been recorded. There has been no confirmed sighting of a grizzly in Colorado since 1979.
Other provinces and the United States may use a combination of methods for population estimates. Therefore, it is difficult to say precisely what methods were used to produce total population estimates for Canada and North America, as they were likely developed from a variety of studies. The grizzly bear currently has legal protection in Mexico, European countries, some areas of Canada, and in all of the United States. However, it is expected that repopulating its former range will be a slow process, due to various reasons, including the bear's slow reproductive habits and the effects of reintroducing such a large animal to areas prized for agriculture and livestock. Competition with other predators and predation on cubs are other possible limiting factors for grizzly bear recovery, though grizzly bears also benefit from scavenged carcasses from predators as an easy food source when other food sources decline
Hibernation
Grizzly bears hibernate for 5 to 7 months each year (except where the climate is warm, as the California grizzly did not hibernate). During this time, female grizzly bears give birth to their offspring, who then consume milk from their mother and gain strength for the remainder of the hibernation period. To prepare for hibernation, grizzlies must prepare a den, and consume an immense amount of food as they do not eat during hibernation. Grizzly bears do not defecate or urinate throughout the entire hibernation period. The male grizzly bear's hibernation ends in early to mid-March, while females emerge in April or early May.
In preparation for winter, bears can gain approximately 180 kg (400 lb), during a period of hyperphagia, before going into hibernation. The bear often waits for a substantial snowstorm before it enters its den: such behavior lessens the chances predators will find the den. The dens are typically at elevations above 1,800 m (5,900 ft) on north-facing slopes. There is some debate amongst professionals as to whether grizzly bears technically hibernate: much of this debate revolves around body temperature and the ability of the bears to move around during hibernation on occasion. Grizzly bears can "partially" recycle their body wastes during this period. Although inland or Rocky Mountain grizzlies spend nearly half of their life in dens, coastal grizzlies with better access to food sources spend less time in dens. In some areas where food is very plentiful year round, grizzly bears skip hibernation altogether
A very heavily processed artistic adaptation of a close-up photo that I took in August of a Polar Bear Zinnia in Pella, Iowa.
I created two different layers in Photoshop using the Art History Brush with two separate brushes. I then added a heavy paint texture to both of these new layers and adjusted the transparency of each layer in the stack. I again applied the same heavy paint texture to the entire composite image and removed some of the texture from the center of the flower with a mask and brush. To finish the composition, I did some dodge & burn work and then used Photoshop’s Selective Color tool and Curves tool to apply some minor color-grading.

Brown Bear in Katmai National Park with its next meal. This stretch of river was an "all you can eat buffet".
These bears were in Bear Wood at Bristol Zoo Project a couple of weeks ago. I was warned that they would be quite inactive because they were entering their torpor time. But they were surprisingly frisky.
Shot this black bear later in the day and had that sunset looking appearance. Looks a bit brownish...Glad it stayed put...
This small creek has quite a history in our community. One of the earliest pioneers to our area in 1855, would see black bears wondering this creek, coming down from Minnesota only 20 miles north.
Other unique animals spotted along here according to early dairies were wolves, elk, a rare cougar and buffalo.
