British Columbia revealed beauty around every bend, but this moment stood out. I’d been roaming the backroads of the Northern Rockies for days when I spotted the largest Black Bear I’d ever seen…massive, well-fed, and still hungry. He foraged steadily, unconcerned by my distant presence. To him, I was just another shadow on the ridgeline, camera in hand, trying to hold on to a fleeting wild moment.
