Strolling in the Khutzeymateen

After having photographed the Grizzly bear named Blondie on the first day in the Khutzeymateen, we met up with her again on two separate occasions.  Here she was at the mouth of the main river in the estuary.  She had been in the water just before and the droplets were still shaking loose as she stepped across the sand.  She noticed us right away but showed little interest and kept on her hunt for fish.

She had swum around the grassy sandbar we were moored beside and carried on around another bend a few minutes later.
