18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sweet Dreams

Photographed on a trip to the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, one of my favorite moments was this encounter with a grizzly named Doze. He was sleeping so peacefully in the sedge grass, looking like he was dreaming. Photographing from a boat, we were able to watch without disturbing him.
