There is no doubt that we are incredibly fortunate! We have been witness to some of nature’s most incredible wonders in our 30yrs, but none like this past week. As far as we are concerned, we did find heaven. Sharon, Jake & I are just out for the day reoutfitting after camping amongst the grizzlies for a week. That’s right, in tents, no electric or other fence, camping amongst 40 grizzlies. And what a week it was!
And the photography, oh my! In just four days, the three of us had over 36,000 images of grizzlies. These are just a couple quick outtakes here, by no means the cream of the crop, just ones I could quickly post.
We had over 40 grizzlies with us, a couple right next to our tents at night and literally beside us during the day. We’re heading back out to a new site tonight so won’t be blogging again for about a week.
I’m limping along having a great time shooting with our son Jake and the griz! We also became friends with some really neat people who also added to the adventure. Thanks Dan, Rachel, Tom & Larry! And for the whole story, you’ll probably have to wait for the book.
I can guarantee you, it won’t be a sleeper.
