Digging

To stand in the presence of bears just a few yards away while they are actively digging for food is a humbling, exhilarating experience. I watched and admired this moment, then shot a batch of images. Then I repeated the process over and over. Hundreds of images later I realized the small group of photographers I was with was surrounded by four bears, each bear using its keen sense of smell to locate clams, then dig. What a thrill to admire nature in such a beautiful way.
