Charting the Course - Grizzly 399 with Her Four Cubs
Seeing Grizzly 399, I thought a lot about the responsibility she had for those four cubs. I had first heard of her the last time I was in the Grand Tetons (four years ago), and then heard the story about she had lost her sole cub in 2016 to a hit and run. In the back country she has to protect her cubs from boars (male grizzlies) who will kill them so that she will be receptive to mating. She needs to teach them to navigate rivers and roads, and how to find food and hunt. She is at the high end of a wild bear's life, but she seemed to me resolute and full of grace.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
