The Bear And The Fox
Species: Brown Bear And Red Fox | Location: Geographic Harbor, Katmai Peninsula, Alaska, United States Of America
This bear "Island Girl" had followed our group back from where we had been photographing in the river all afternoon to where we were being picked up to return to Ursus anchored in Geographic Cove. The next morning we came ashore at the same spot and she was there waiting when we arrived. At about the same time a Red Fox appeared and we watched and
photographed as they interacted. There was never any aggression between the two.
About The Photographer
I Started taking photos after graduating from college and dental school. My mother was an amateur photographer and gave me a 35mm camera when I graduated from collage. Most of my pictures were taken during travel or of my wife and kids. In 2007 or 2008 I took a week long Photography Workshop with Nevada Weir In Santa Fe, New Mexico and my interest in photography accelerated. At first I was taking general travel pictures (cities, people, landscapes places of interest) but with time I really started to focus on shooting wildlife, which has become my passion. I have been fortunate to be able to travel with several National Geographic and Nat Hab photographers on trips over the years and learn from them. After a trip to Antarctica and South Georgia in 2009 I entered a picture in an Autobon Society photo contest and received Honorable Mention for a Penguin Photograph.Love this photo? Leave a comment!
