Here’s one from my trip to Alaska a few years back. The brown bears were hunting salmon at low tide where the water from a river emptied into the ocean. Salmon are known as anadromous, meaning they can exist in both fresh and salt water. They spend their first few years in fresh before moving out to sea. Then they head back when it’s time to spawn. The bears were putting on quite a show as they charged after their breakfast. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second.
I thought “anadromous” means that fish aren’t monogamous and they date around all the time and you’re not supposed to make a big deal about it. That’s what my last girlfriend told me. She was a Sockeye.

Today’s image is as classic as Louis’ commentary!
Thanks Sue. And yes, Louis always provides something to ponder in the comments section.
