Who knew, Bears do grow on trees!
























Remember being so tired in the twilight days of Alaska, remember the sweet smell of fish mixing with earth as the salmon die and lay on the edge of the stream. Remember the endless mountains everywhere surrounding us as we walk, remember the smell of the air thick with the tannin of earth as we walk. Remember the possibility of seeing something wild and walking in an untouched land that opens around us and takes our breath from its beauty.

Dianne,

yes but a bit intimidating to think they can be above you as you walk as well as around you!!

dw- I am happy to share it, it was a great trip! The bear was most cooperative since he was having a bit of a snooze up there.
