Walking through the forest, I revelled in how the clear sunlight poured down through the green and bronze leaves like wine from a decanter. I doubly delighted in the simple wisdom of remembering to bring along my camera.
Salmon make busy, sinewy water splashes as they spawn. When I hear that sound, I go to the creekside to see what the fish are doing. Sometimes, I'm not the only one attracted to the salmon.
This bear was as far away from me as you'd be from your television set watching a movie at home. My camera doesn't have any special lenses, so there was no fancy zoom as I snapped a couple of quick pictures of this particular junior bear feeding on salmon. Then both the bear and I chose to go our separate ways: the bear took the salmon and I kept my photos.
