On Sunday, Dan Heitman and I went out to see if we could shoot some smokey sunrise at Vermillion.Unfortunately the smoke had moved on from a couple of days ago. But we took pictures of sunrise.
We drove down vermillion road afterwards and at our usual winter spot for landscape there was a small pond with some suckers locked in from being flooded and then flood going away. And a grizzly had found the spot.
After about an hour of watching the grizzly some young campers from Australia and other noisy people came by. The noise of the people talking made the grizzly edgy. A coyote walked through the bush and startled the bear. She ran straight up the hill toward Dan. Dan was not paying attention to the bear and everybody ran but Dan. As the bear came over the hill I was debating - bear spray or run back to get the jeep to save Dan. Fortunately even though the only thing between Dan and the bear was his tripod and 500mm lens, the bear went by him. An exciting morning wake up for Dan.
Here are the best fishing pictures from the grizzly from the morning.
