Sometimes they just are.

2) Fishing on her belly

4) Yep. Really cold!

Wonderful pictures of a remarkable animal.

Amazing photos, Dan! And I too love the captions, and really need to get up your way someday!

And #7 - one mustn't ever underestimate the benefits of stretching before a strenuous workout!

They are surely interesting. Going on a shoot is not only about the photography.

Looks like she's working on a hip flexor. I can relate.

Excellent photos. Bears are really interesting animals, intelligent and curious -- and they seem to enjoy life (except for those in this area that have mange, they're very sad looking).

These are great! So inspiring.

 

[Rick S]

These are amazing. I especially like #9. Thanks.

Wonderful shots Dan. One better than the next.

 

[Tadzio]

Excellent series!

 

[ssheipel]

Gorgeous shots, gorgeous animals!

 

[Gongster]

Lovely series Dan.

Hilarious! And every shot crisp and clean with so much detail. In no shot does the viewer need to ask what am I supposed to see in this image. Hmm. Okay, have you trained these ferocious Alaskan bears to pose for your great camera skills? If so, I give you high marks for training skills and bravery in addition to high marks for your photography. Beautifully well done.

Wow you really managed to bring the personalities onto the screen! Beautiful

 

[S_Funk]

Excellent series of photos! You captured the moments exceptionally well! I love the comments and the story that they tell.

 

[Andrew Lamberson]

That is a great collection!

Fantastic series Absolutely Fantastic ! ! .. I love how they are all ever so slightly different, just like humans out on a picnic for the day .. It must be such an exhilarating experience to be able to observe and photograph these Bears right in their own back yard each and every one with their own personalities ..

As mentioned above , the photographs are of great quality - gin clear with excellent detail

would you care to share the Camera (s) & Lens (s) used for this series ? Thank you for sharing these

Amazing shots, I’d give my right arm just to be able to see them let alone be able to photograph them…

I don't know whether to say fabulously outstanding pictures or outstanding fabulous pictures. The commentary was great also. It's original and quality posts like this that keep me viewing this site. I truly enjoy it!!!
