OK another one for the motif. We were boating out on Prince William Sound this past weekend. I was watching the insturments as we were pulling in to shore to take the dog for a walk when my wife said "oh, there's a bear". The bruin was accomodating enough to hang around for a photo op. As a matter of fact, uncharacteristically for a blackie, it showed no fear of the boat at all.

We took a few shots then took the dog walking on a little island out in the bay instead...

That's a nice find, what a good looking bear! - and I'm sure it was a wise decision to walk your dog somewhere else.... :D

What a lucky find. I like the grass sticking out of the mouth.
