Fishing for salmon along the banks of Fish Creek at Hyder, Alaska I encountered this beautiful black bear sow that also happened to have a pair of young cubs. The entire encounter was exhilarating!
Risky business, Jim, but great shot! I once flew back from Southeastern Alaska with a USGS geologist that had been mauled by a black bear....not a pretty sight!

Wow, JIm, this is spectacular. With young ones around l thought the mother might be aggressive. Glad you are safe. Exciting experience !

Dear Jim, What a wonderful experience!! Beautiful framing and perfect depth of field. Did you catch any salmon, or was this "the catch of the day"? Lucky you had your camera on hand.
