18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Shake It Off

I was surprised by my wonderful wife with the opportunity to go on a grizzly bear tour. Our company had arrived via boat and then bus to Toba inlet and we were escorted to the lookout point. It didn’t take long before we spotted this grizzly looking for some chum salmon in the river. It went under a few times attempting to get a catch and it shook off the water each time. I raised my shutter speed in anticipation for this moment.
