The bears are back!

After weeks if not months of seeing very little wildlife in the Toba Valley, this last week marked the return the salmon to the streams, and therefore the bears to the valley bottom. There is something pretty incredible about seeing something so natural and so powerful, and feeling pretty vulnerable and insignificant next to it. So here are some shots that I took on my last shift September 8-15th.











Beautiful sunrise in the Toba Valley





This little guy was sooo cute. He was imitating his mom, standing up on his hind legs. Poor mom was pretty skinny, hopefully she finds a good fishing hole pretty soon.



Nice little buck hanging out on the power line
