Hi Evelynn,
wow such an interesting and novel point of view courtesy of your camper's roof and such a safe spot to take photos from should the bear not care for it's photo being taken.I like the colours in this shot and those amazing claws the bear has and it is nice that rather than just standing the bear is having a good roll about on the ground.Did this one know you were watching it?I always like it best when I can get candid shots of wildlife with little or no eye contact as they seen to be more natural in behavior if they don't know I'm about.Thanks for giving all this view. Bob

Hi Evelynn

This is a stirling image despite the OFF plant - the pose is just wonderful. The bear is well exposed too.

Hi Evelynn!

This is another beautiful picture of a bear. It must be impressive to see it live! It's also impressive to read how you managed to take the picture. Congratulations!

Kind regards

Great title & capture Evelynn..
I just got some shots of my squirrels doing the very same thing recently.
When I saw the squirrels here exhibiting this behavior for the first time, I immediately thought of our dogs doing their back scratching in similar fashion. In one frame the squirrel paused..looked like he was playing possum ;}

Very nicely done! You've captured quite a bit of character in this shot, I would have been way too scared to get close to a grizzly though, even in a vehicle! Great job,

Spettacolare momento di cattura, eccellente POV (interessante e ottima idea l'utilizzo del camper come torretta), molto bella la composizione che mostra un momento di vita dell'orso nel suo habitat, buona nitidezza, molto belli i col.ori. grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Evelynn,
Wow, I can't keep up with you! This is a gorgeous capture of this Grizzly enjoying life! Well after that long and cold winter he certainly deserves a good meal! Well done!

I just love this shot. What abandon! Life is good!
Akoa does the same thing every morning, when I let him out to the backyard.
It is so amazing that you were able to capture this behaviour in the wild.
And from a grizzly bear, no less.
Great stuff! TFS. : )

Hi Evelynn
Wow..look at those claws...they are huge. Your image shows that even Grizzly Bear have a relaxing side to them and their daily routine. I agree about cropping out part of the bottom of this image. Still a really nice image of this large Grizzly bear.

Hi Evelynn,
Yes, life is good, especially when you look this relaxed. I like your note and the extra effort you can Jerry take to make these photos. Getting up that early and hoping that you will see a bear shows the real spirit of photography. I like the photo of Jerry on top of the truck as well. The details in this photo are excellent and the OOF plants in the FG don't bother me at all.
TFS,
Niek
