While we were watching the bears in Anan Creek, Alaska, 2003, this black bear snuck up behind us and took a sniff. This was from about 10 yards away. There is a cliff on the bank opposite the observatory at Anan Creek. Bears follow various paths down to the water, over logs and between the rocks. A bear pauses to check out the audience, Anan Creek, Alaska. Yawning, I think. Lunch. Another look at the bear behind us.
Funny moment on the Misty Fjords cruise - the captain announced with great excitement that a bear could be seen. Everyone rushed to the rail and started snapping away with their little instamatics. This shot is with a 400mm lens, which is three times bigger than the zoom lens on the typical consumer camera. It might have been more exciting if I had not been at Anan Creek three days earlier. Here's a last look at that bear that tried to jump me. Not a good day for the fish.
