This adult male grizzly came up from the river to cross the road at the end of the day. We were standing on the road. When we didn't move, he just lay down, put his head on his paws, watched and waited. Taken from a distance of about 20 feet.

We had been photographing these bears for two days. At the end of

the second day this adult male grizzly came up from the river in the

bush along the side of the road. He evidently wanted to cross the

road but we were standing on the road. He was too full of salmon to

bother walking up the road and around us and didn't want to cross

while we were there. We didn't move, so he just lay down, put his

head on his paws, watched and waited.

 

Taken from a distance of about 20 feet. Heart thumping but

fortunately the lens had image stabilization.

 

Thanks for looking
