Description
This cinnamon black bear was enjoying a stroll in a flower field on the north end of Glacier National Park. To capture this beautiful bear in this serene setting, I pulled out my Canon SX60 with a built-in telephoto zoom. For the health and safety of the animal and the photographer, it is critically important to use strong zoom lenses--either the ultra-expensive variety (detachable) or the cheaper, built-in version--when photographing wildlife such as bears.
