As mentioned on my introduction page I saw fewer bears this year, continuing a multi-year trend for reasons unknown, compared to ten years ago. But I saw a few bears at Geographic Harbor and elsewhere, and some mama bears with yearling cubs (but no newborn cubs).
First, some views of the spectacular Geographic Harbor landscape:
An interesting geological formation
High bluffs in the afternoon light
Evening alpenglow
Now for some bear images:
| Mama bear looking warily at my boat ... | And her yearling cub | 
| A bear's favorite treat | Yearling learns from mama | 
A big bear
There's also an account of a bear "close encounter" on my Larsen Bay page — a case where I'm not safe on my boat, separated from my subjects by hundreds of meters of water, but walking along a trail in the wilds of Alaska.
