Glacier July 2002 |
 I spotted this bear crossing a gravel road. |
We wanted to spend one day sightseeing outside the national park. We stayed overnight in Whitefish, Montana, and the next day planned to make the circular trip around Flathead Lake - a distance of about 150 miles. We were riding through one of the state park on the east side of Flathead Lake when I spotted a bear crossing a gravel road. |
 Bear in the woods |
He was moving parallel to the road we were on. From the safety of the car, we were taking as many photos as we could. |
 Looking right at us |
| Digital cameras and 35mm cameras are great, but they sometimes take too long to turn on or set up. When we travel, we buy a disposable camera, have the film pre-advanced, and leave it in a cup holder, immediately available. That way, if we see some wildlife, it is grab, point, shoot. In this case, I was shooting with the disposable and with the digital camera and 35mm camera with a 300mm zoom lens. I'm not sure which photos are from which camera - we were following this guy for about 5 minutes, but it was fun to see him and photograph him in his natural habitat. |
