Wasn’t that cool? I saw them doing this, but was never in a position to get an image of it…. and it certainly wouldn’t capture the behavior as well in a still image anyways. Glad someone else did.

Thanks folks!

@Anita – actually this bear just got done doing a round of submarining and blowing bubbles at the surface of the water.

Your marvelous story provided plenty of chuckles and the photo is outstanding. I am a big believer that “imagining” some possibilities is a useful technique. Certainly we can’t control what happens, but those pictures in our mind’s eye open our minds to seeing what does transpire.

Does this bear’s face register the reaction to not getting a salmon on the most recent dive? These close-up portraits you got are so special because of the personality your captured in each animal. They are miles beyond the usual photos of wild animals.

I have been pretty busy lately and had wondered how your trip went, looking at this image and some of the others it looks like you had a great time.

I am hoping someday to get to some wonderful locale just once in my life, your images definitely make me hungry as hell for such a journey..

Thanks for sharing Mark !!

Watching you watching him! I love it. Kinda reminds me of the seals along the California Coast – just hanging out watching us watching them. Or so it seems.
