Chewing on a Toothpick

It has been several months since I last posted anything to this site, having been preoccupied all summer with home projects and not doing a lot of photography. But I set aside a day last month to take part in a photography club trip to Atlin, BC, which turned out to be quite photographically productive and stimulating. We were actually not too far out from Whitehorse when we came upon this grizzly foraging beside the Alaska Highway, with the grasses still frosty after a cold night. I got a number of good shots of this magnificent beast, but chose this one for the somewhat comical, transient expression on the bear’s face as it gnawed on the remains of a twig.
