Come a little bit closer.

Silver tip Grizzly Banff National Park This big guy was feeding on dandelions on the side of the road,
I was quite safe in the car and this is a hard crop. He simply ignored everyone who stopped. They only come down this far for a few weeks to feed on the wild flowers.

After a few moments he just ambled off into the forest..

Great capture Jess. Glad you were in the car! Love his perky nose and that he looks so healthy. Flowers (can see them in the pic) must be a good addition to his diet.
