Looks like a big Kermode Don! Nice job on the exposure here. I like the shoreline setting.

Crazy looking bear, only odd thing for me is what ever is over his head ?

This island has a tidal range of 15'. That is a submerged log that gets exposed at low tide.

Very cool, Don. You've gotta have some luck getting these guys out in the open on the beaches. I love the head-on look. The brighter section of shore may be a slight distraction, but it's out of your hands.

Very nice Don. I like the way the pose has been captured. I hope that's bear drool coming out of the bear's mouth and not fishing line..............Jim
