Two coastal brown bears just taking it easy on a sandbar near Silver Salmon Creek in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. I suppose I looked somewhat similar about twenty yards away face down on the ground with my camera.

Very cool. They look wet. Maybe they’re just drying off as they rest on the sandbar.
Yup, you’re just one of them! Great shot!

You have some of the best brown bear images I have ever seen, Sean!
Awesome shot! But 20 yards only?!? These can cover a distance that short in a heartbeat! Add fearless to your credits! Happy New Year!
As long as they’re aware of where I am they can be quite accommodating. It’s the surprises they don’t like.
