An Alaskan brown bear at a wildlife sanctuary, in Alaska funnily enough. Textured background added in post
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.

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?
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.
A Brown Bear comes out of the dense vegetation along a river in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Fishermen and photographers along the banks of the river need to be alert as the bears' appearance can be rather sudden.

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".
This is one of 5 big guys we found during our adventures yesterday, we hit the Mother load when it comes to Black Bears. Our regular spot isn't producing much hours and hours of wait time so we went four wheeling for 12 hours and lucked in. Not totally lucky as we had to get towed out of a mud hole. Lots more bears coming soon check back to meet Curly, Moe, Joe and Boris :))
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...
