bear in the lake

What was particularly special about my recent bear sighting, was that the bear spent close to an hour simply meandering around; in the meadows, through the woods, on the lakeshore and, as you can see, in the lake. Offering exciting changes of perspective, scenery, and lighting - a photographer's dream client.

"The bear, he says, is many animals in one. Like a lion, he downs mammals much bigger than he; like any ruminant, he pillages crops; he steals grapes and fruit like a monkey; nibbles on berries like a blackbird; plunders anthills and beehives like a woodpecker; digs up tubers and larvae like a pig; and catches fish with the dexterity of an otter. And he eats honey like a man."
