I spotted this Grizzly walking towards the river ( and me) on a small country road. I decided to place myself about 30 feet off the road behind large tree ready for a photo op. Although these bears are very dangerous, the sockeye salmon run is their main interest and i had observed that these bears have no interest in me because of their fishing activities at the time. A pickup truck approached and stopped in the road to warn me about the bear. But the truck scared the approaching bear and it started running to get away from the truck. The bear hadn't seen me and coincidentally was running right towards my tree. I knew I had no safe place to go,and i hoped the bear was not interested in me, so started shooting photos. Just as the bear was running past me and the tree, it looked up and we locked eyes for a split second as the bear ran on past me. This is my very lucky shot.

Wow, this was one of the most exciting highlights of my life, being this close to a wild grizzly bear. This is my very lucky shot.
