The bear just kept loafing my way, until getting about 50 yards from me -- when I started making some noise to scare it away.
Moments before taking this shot I yelled something like, "Hey, you there! Why not go another way, please?" Or maybe I just blubbered, I can't remember...
This was a surprise! This was late one morning on a 5 day trip. I am walking out with still more than a mile hike to get back to my truck when I hear something. I'm making noise due to the abundance of black bears around me in the North East North Carolina wilderness. I hear something as I'm walking and it's when I turn to my right that I notice this yearling back bear in-between the opening of the tree line. We shared glances and the bear stuck around long enough to get its photo taken. I prefer not to be this close to bears. This area hosts the densest population of black bears on the planet. So by spending enough time here, occasionally it happens. I'm carrying a cooler seat pack and a big lens on a monopod across my shoulders. My camera of choice is the Canon R5 and a EF600 f/4 lens. Right now is the time that the refuge starts waking up. The big boys are starting to move which means mating season is near. With the bean crops coming up, the bears are taking advantage of the prime food source. This was a successful trip for me. My days were spent hiking in the refuge and nights spent primitive camping at a state park nearby. NE North Carolina has a lot to offer for both the landscape and wildlife photographer.
Grizzly bear cubs at Katmai are protected and fed by mom for their first two years. She teaches them to swim and fish but only one of three cubs here survive their first year. These cubs were born in the den this past winter.
This is the bear we saw not far from the moose in my previous post. I suppose this guy is trying to fatten up for the winter.

Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctic horribilis) 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.

This beautiful brown bear, known in these parts as “Blonde Mom” is shown here with one of her two spring cubs! And what a protective mom she is!

I just loved this pose by Bear and just wish his paws would have been in focus but alas, when you only have your photo to capture these moments...
This splendid 'Acanthus Mollis' is commonly known as 'Bear's Breeches'.
Its quite hardy, and will come back well, even after frost.

My beloved Bear Creek with a higher flow due to recent rains. It's a mixture of shadows and sunlight as the clouds passed overhead. Spring is in the air . . .
Seriously called Bear Creek because several pioneer dairies from the 1880's mention seeing bear wondering the creek coming down from Minnesota just to the north.

This bear meanders through our Tennessee cabin property a couple of times a week, hopeful that we will slip up and provide some good garbage (food) for him. Feeding bears is NOT a good idea-- they get too used to getting close to people, and end up needing to be removed from the environment.
I managed to capture this tender moment when a mother Grizzly Bear was given a hug by her young cub. The bears were so well fed on the abundant salmon they had excess energy for play fighting with mum, and between her twin cubs. This was on the Nekite River in British Columbia.
Fifth installment in my National Parks Wildlife set.
North American Black Bears are not always black. Though eastern populations are almost always black, western black bears come in many color phases...even a creamy white. This one, dining on Hawthorn Berries in Grand Teton National Park is referred to as a "cinnamon phase" due to its reddish brown hue about the same as the tasty spice.
When a lot of folks see a black bear in this color phase they think it's a grizzly. Several years ago in Glacier National Park I tried to convince a couple of photographers that we were photographing a cinnamon black bear and not a grizzly. They weren't having it. So finally I suggested they show some of their shots to a ranger or park employee at the visitor center. I don't know if they ever did that, or just went home thinking they had photographed a Glacier Grizzly.
I promised my very good Flickr friend, Jesse, who lives in Melbourne, Australia, that I would let him have a photo of our treasured Paddington Bear. He was given to my wife nearly fifty years ago. He lives in my office, where he has a view out of the window.
Bear is just pure canine love. He is one of the dogs I know from my old hiking route and lived adjacent to Bukansan National Park.

Union Pacific's Hinkle, Oregon to Yermo, California manifest freight snakes along the sheer cliffs of Utah's Bear River Gorge between Cache Junction and Wheelon the afternoon of May 28, 1994.
I find myself longing for cooler weather and a sense of peace in a world that is coming unraveled. There is nothing on this earth more peaceful than a bear hug and I couldn't have more respect for any other animal in the world than I do for a mother polar bear.
Such a delight to find these on Rogers Pass on the way home! There was probably a hundred other photographers there today...it was a scene I'll never forget viewing these gorgeous and somewhat uncommon flowers that only grow in high elevations! :) I am having a terrible time loading my photos...been trying for several hours...don't know if it's Flickr or internet...anyone else having problems?
This is a female Grizzly Bear with her twin cubs. They would be about 8 months old here and were a male and female. The larger, blond cub was the male. Their mother was very adept at catching salmon which she would leave for her cubs, then go off to catch another. But each time she caught a new salmon the cubs would abandon the one they were eating so they could have the latest catch. The salmon is a Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), that has a look of horror on its face and a trickle of blood running down its side. This was taken on the Nekite River in British Columbia.
