Description

A coastal brown bear walks along the sandy shoreline of Lake Clark National Park with a fresh catch held firmly in her mouth, her slightly goofy expression adding a lighthearted moment to an otherwise rugged scene. Bears often stroll these beaches in search of fish, especially as the seasons begin to change. In the background, the first hints of autumn color emerge, signaling the transition to fall along Alaska’s remote coast.
