Photograph taken by @paulnicklen while #onassignment for @natgeo. A black bear gives himself a good shake after lunging into the water and missing a salmon on a river in #BritishColumbia. A bear’s fur is very thick and when wet it adds a lot of weight to its body. I am dedicating the next week to my favorite bear moments on @paulnicklen so please feel free to #follow me to see a lot more. #bear #nature #wildlife #beauty #adventure @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #gratitude #keepitwild by natgeo http://ift.tt/1JhBnZ3 – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
