19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Peek-a-boo

Finding water during the summer can be hard for the bears and other wildlife in the front range of Colorado. Under this rock however lies a small fresh water pool that is fed by a slow trickle. It's not a lot of water but it is enough to attract bears from far and wide. Here this curious bear is coming in for a drink while curiously looking to see who else is around.
