A bear and her berries
For the second week in a row, I caught up Grizzly bear #152, and her smile, in Kananaskis’s Spray Valley Provincial Park. Once more she was feasting on Buffalo berries. Unlike the sunny encounter last week, the rain was falling steadily providing a sheen to the leaves, the bear’s coat and the tall grass.
The bear went in and out of the bushes, eating steadily along the way. Again I was reminded how easily they can disappear within the vegetation – they are a part of the land and seem to join it and separate at will.

Absolutely beautiful photos! I admire the great photography as well as the magnificent bear! I love seeing animals at peace and free as they were intended to be.

Stunning! It must have been an amazing encounter each time, no matter how many times you see them!

She does look like she’s grinning. That is a comical back-end pose in the second shot, as well. Happy to hear that you are familiar with this sow and that she is ok. The way she can appear and disappear in the bushes makes me wonder how much we miss when we are out hiking.

I love your smiling bear shots! I actually love all your shots.
It still amazes me to see a wild animal ‘disappear’ so easily into nature. They seem to meld into their surroundings. thanx again, ren
