There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I've uploaded images from my short scouting trip to Lake Clark National Park to my photo archive. It's mainly all about bears. Though it was late in the season and the weather wasn't great, there were still plenty of close encounters and fun photo ops to be had.
This sow and her yearling cub were a familiar subject by the end of the trip. Here they come together in a rare playful moment while mom searching for salmon lingering at the end of the spawning run in the ocean.
