“This was taken in the Great Bear Rainforest of BC, en route back to Bella Bella by sailboat. We saw this magnificent Grizzly foraging in the grass, and got into the zodiac to go to shore, where we promptly hung ourselves up on the rocks. The Grizzly knew we were there, but paid us scant attention, probably thinking, “Foolish humans, getting hung up on the rocks as the tide runs out!” and giving us looks of embarrassment for our inability to get our zodiac going. The entire trip was truly magical.”

Catherine Fox’s great photo of this beautiful Grizzly Bear was selected as one of the top photos of Nature Canada’s 75th Anniversary Photo Contest. We have Catherine, and our 45,000+ members from all over Canada to thank for submitting such amazing photography of the wild areas and wildlife all around us. In the coming months, we will be unveiling a monthly photo contest where more Members can share their nature moments with us. Stay tuned.
