Spirit Bear, Gribbell Island, British Columbia
Canon 1D3, 300 mm f/2.8 lens
The Spirit Bear, or Kermode bear, is a rare white variant of the black bear. It is caused by a recessive gene and is found only on two islands on the British Columbia coast. The bear is not albino --- it still hasa black nose and black eyes. To see one takes a bit of patience and a lot of luck. This was my second attempt...we did the same trip two years ago and failed to spot one. But only one in ten bears in the area are white, so success is certainly not guaranteed.

Denise,
<span style="font-size: 11.6667px;"]You had a nice week!
<span style="font-size: 11.6667px;"]Nice sharp focus while panning the GBH. It really pops off the screen with nice separation from the background. I think this may be your best one yet.
<span style="font-size: 11.6667px;"]Is the 3rd one titled, Broad side of a Barn, or a Broad on the side of a Barn? [:D] LOL.

Neuro - Thank you so much for the compliment! I think I may FINALLY be seeing some improvements!! Now here's hoping I'll start seeing some improvement in my portrait taking over the long, cold winter when I hibernate!
Rich - Thank you! I agree, I think this is the best one out of the hmmm...few hundred I've attempted! Practice makes perfect! [:P] Oh as far as the broad on the side of the barn, if she was there, I'm sorry I missed her but I'll keep my eye out for that good ol' country gal for younext time!! [;)]

I went on holidays to the Daintree area here is Oz. It's a really stunning place where the rainforest meets the sea. The weather was pretty wet most of the trip but I managed to get a few good shots in.

I took a photo of a bird! (Crazy I know). This is a Brolga, it's part of the crane family apparently. They're native to Australia and actually feature on the emblem for the state of Queensland (where I live). These guys are massive, they stand around 1.5m high and have a 2.5m wingspan (that's about 8ft for you Northern hemispherites). They're very skittish too so I was lucky to get a shot away.
