We’ve seen this spirit bear mom (and her black cub) on a few occasions since I took this series of shots in the Great Bear Rainforest back in 2011. This image never got selected or edited at the time, but when I looked back through the images from that day recently, this one jumped out at me because of the composition and texture of the rootball she’s walking past. Of course, I never spotted it at the time, I was too busy concentrating on the bear and her cub, but what an interesting feature to add to the story of the photograph. You can see more of this bear in the Spirit Bear Gallery.
