Vee's Note Card Party - Young Brown Bear



Once again, it’s time for Vee’s monthly note card party!

A Haven for Vee

After finding out about the live video cams at Brooks Falls, I have bears on the brain. So my note cards this month feature four of my bear photos from our 2011 trip to Katmai National Park. Not only would children and men enjoy note cards like these, but also photographers and nature lovers!

This endearing young bear fished in the lower river area, several miles downstream of the waterfalls and away from the bigger bears.












These note card parties are such fun! I hope you will have time to stop by A Haven for Vee and visit with her other participants!

P.S. This Friday, I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. Prayers are welcomed! Photographers aren't worth a plug nickel if they can't see well!

  2. You know I'm on the prayer team. I'm wondering how your photography might change as the result of this surgery. Now that you'll be able to see so much better. John noticed how vivid colors were for him right away. Time will tell!

    Yes, this is a perfect set for men and boys. My grands would love them!

    I have spent so much time watching the nature cam. It's too much fun.

  3. What a cute bear! He makes a great notecard set. I hope your eye surgery goes well. That is one of my fear to lose my sight and not be able to take photos. Blessings to you! Pam

  4. I'm keeping you and your hubby both in my prayers. I love your choices for a set of cards. What expressions this guy has. Looks like a face a bear artist would study for a painting. I felt like we were both famous this afternoon, when I saw Vee had mentioned us both. Just look what we're learning and sharing with your photo challenge! KUDOS to you, my friend!

    You know I'm on the team with Vee.

  6. Amazing that your head knows it's a bear, but your heart kind of thinks its just adorable. I guess bears are like that. I wouldn't get close enough to know because I have a cheap old shiny red Kodak and a yellow streak up my spine. Wonderful pictures!

  9. Love these images, Donna. The bear looks close enough to stroke - but I hope you used a telephoto lens. Wonderful glimpses of wild nature.

    I hope the cataract surgery goes well tomorrow and that your husband is doing as well as can be expected. Prayers for both of you.

  23. BEAUTIFUL captures of the bear. It's like you were sitting right next to it! Oh, they are beautiful creatures and your 'note cards' are worthy of a gift shop in Alaska! Or anywhere there are bears!
