Do You Feel Like Dinner 06_02_05.jpg

I'm glad I was shooting this grizzly at 600mm. The grizzly had a kill nearby and wasn't in a good mood. The temperature was about 35 degrees Fahrenheit and there was a biting north wind. I still spent over an hour watching this bear. It was such a treat.

I did take a few landscapes on this trip. Here is an early morning shot from today 02 June 2005
