Originally, I was suppose to spend most of July 2020 in Alaska photographing real life, wild bears. Wild bear photography has been a passion for many years. See some of my other Pbase galleries & my published work. However, the pandemic obviously changed my plans. Instead, I stayed at home this year and remained “safe”. That was “safe” from an unseen, highly contagious, deadly virus that still continues to rage on; worse now than even back in July.

That means this new 2020 Christmas ornament is now my bear photography for the year… He’s an unknown species; unlike any bear I’ve ever encountered in the wild. A well-dressed fellow, too.
