p.1 #1 · Black Bears - Delaware Water Gap, NJ

These were taken in the Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey. Seems like the bears have been on a feeding binge for the last several weeks. I spotted this bear along the road feeding on acorns and nuts. He was so focused on feeding nothing seemed to bother him; I was able to watch him for an hour and a half.

Lucky you,

looks like a peaceful encounter.

He sure looks like he's had a chance to fatten up for the winter.

He looks like he belongs there. Nice set.

Great job on the exposures and what a treat this must have been for you, Rich. I like that 2nd one - looks like a swimsuit model doing a glamour pose

Very nicely exposed and composed.
#1 turned out very well, and is my favorite.
I like the way you managed to get the eyes.
