I wonder; They wander by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Mother Grizzly and cub (taken in Jasper this Spring). I have thought about these two for the last few months, hoping they survived the wildfire in Jasper and found a safe place to gain the weight and strength they need for the season as they go into torpor this winter. Here’s hoping nature found a way.
Maybe she's born with it, Maybe it's May-bear-line by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: This Coastal Brown Bear, from Alaska, was searching for clams as the tide was out. She had her head down (as most bears do) but lifted just as the right time in my direction. She sure was a beauty (I was going to edit out her string of slobber but kind it adds to her clam digging appetite).

Alpha Mom by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: The first coastal brown bear encounter in Alaska. Mother bear emerged from the lake - she sure was a sight to see. Shortly following her were her two young cubs.
Welcome to the mid-point of 2024 by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: We are half way through 2024 and it has already offered some great nature viewing so far - looking forward to what the next half of the year has to offer. This is a wild young Grizzly in the Canadian Rockies munching on freshly grown grass - taken from the safety of my vehicle with a telephoto lens. It had just showered and his coat looks a little two toned and very textured. I hope he has a safe season.
Like a Four Leaf Clover, hard to find and lucky to have by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Well, it turned out it was not a four leaf clover, but for a split second I thought it was one in its mouth (the small things that get me excited). Still happy to see a Black Bear in the wild - Rocky Mountains (Canada). Heavily cropped so forgive the grain.
A little lopsided by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: I have often reflected on this capture as it looks like the bears left side is swollen (abscess tooth, stung by a bee, in a scruff, impersonating a squirrel hiding nuts, chewing tobacco)? This was the only angle I could get from my vehicle while she/he grazed for food. Otherwise looked very healthy-wild grizzly in the Canadian Rockies.
Run with the wind by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Feral foal
Keep your eyes (& toes) on the goal by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Sometimes we forget in the moment that there are obstructions in our view. Half of the owl (the part cropped) is photobombed by a fence post). I had such a good morning watching this lovely owl hunt that I decided to try something to salvage the photo. Win some, loose some, reconcile some, heavily crop some…
Young Grizzly in the wild by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Bears may be the apex predator, but this young grizzly still has many dangers to navigate. Stay safe young one.
Just the two of us by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Mother Mallard and the one remaining surviving duckling. Nature can sometimes seem cruel but always balances her books if we let the ecosystems do their own thing.
