This Yukon grizzly was heading the same direction so we traveled together for a ways. He pretty much ignored me, focused on fattening up before his big slumber began.
Was snowing, blowing and frigid on the 30th of August.
Glad I wasn't wearing shorts....
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
This grizzly bear (brown bear) uses a log to cross a small stream. This is funny because a couple of minutes later, it was chest deep in a big stream trying to catch a spawning salmon.
Near Sitka, Alaska
I took the photo of the bear a while back but it sat in my photo library, forgotten. So, I forget where it was taken.

The grizzly bear is a North American subspecies of the brown bear. Grizzlies are typically brown, though their fur can appear to be white-tipped, or grizzled, lending them their name.
Grizzly bears are protected by law in the continental United States—not in Alaska—though there have been some controversial attempts to remove those protections in recent years.
These awe-inspiring giants tend to be solitary animals—with the exception of females and their cubs—but at times they do congregate. Dramatic gatherings of grizzly bears can be seen at prime Alaskan fishing spots when the salmon run upstream for summer spawning.
Grizzly bears are powerful, top-of-the-food-chain predators, yet much of their diet consists of nuts, berries, fruit, leaves, and roots. Bears also eat other animals, from rodents to moose.
Despite their impressive size, grizzlies have been clocked running at 30 miles an hour. They can be dangerous to humans, particularly if surprised or if humans come between a mother and her cubs.
Grizzlies once lived in much of western North America and even roamed the Great Plains. These animals need a lot of space—their home range can encompass up to 600 square miles—so their ideal habitat is one that is isolated from development and has plenty of food and places to dig their dens.
Though European settlement gradually eliminated the bears from much of their original habitat, grizzly populations can still be found in parts of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State.
Grizzlies are one of the most iconic residents of Yellowstone National Park. Many grizzlies also still roam the wilds of Canada and Alaska, where hunters pursue them as big game trophies.
At its peak, the grizzly population numbered more than 50,000. But those numbers shrank dramatically as westward expansion plunked cities and towns in the middle of the grizzly bear’s habitat. Aggressive hunting in the early 20th century also threatened the survival of the grizzly bear. By the 1920s and 1930s, these bears had been reduced to less than 2 percent of their historical range. In the 1960s, it was estimated that there were only 600 to 800 remaining in the wild. In 1975, grizzly bears were listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Today, grizzlies are considered a conservation success story. Since grizzlies gained protections under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, the population of grizzly bears has grown.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established recovery zones for the bears and set out to improve relationships between humans and bears by educating the public about these animals and establishing programs to reimburse ranchers for livestock bears killed.

I feel like a virtual trip to Alaska. This brown bear wading in the Brooks River in Katmai National Park kicks off a three shot series of Alaskan wildlife.
He is eating a ham bone here. I thought he looked like my dog "bear". ;)
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

This Brown Bear takes a brief break from searching from salmon to pose for a portrait. Lower Brooks River, Katmai National Park, Alaska. I think this bear's "expression" seems to be a mix of innocence and curiosity.
