DINNING IN THE RAIN

A big male grazing on sedge grass, beggining of spring 2022. It was a very cold but special evening for me, this bear was pretty cautious with our presence at first, but then little by little he started to accept us. My guide used a soft voice to let him know that we're not challenging him and although I cannot translate how he felt about that I'm pretty sure he acknowledged our presence and just kept minding his own business. I interpreted this moment as co-existence based on mutual respect.
