A group of 4 of us were leaving Kitsault, BC after one week in Anyox, we were about to head off for the long drive to Terrace when one member of the party spotted a large black bear wandering on the grass off in the distance. We were far enough away that I could safely get out and use my telephoto lens to get up close and personal with this beast, who was eying my every move! It stopped for long enough that I was able to get a good full-body shot along with eye contact!
