Sleepy Brown Bear Family

Brown Bear, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

I still have lots of Costa Rica photos to share, but thought I would take a short break and share this image of a brown bear family from last summer. Just adjusted this photo this morning – I missed it on my first round of edits. This is a sow with three spring cubs just waking up. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

Eyelash palm pit viper (orange), Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

My reptile handler was very excited about this snake as he had never seen an orange eyelash palm pit-viper. This came about thanks to a call from a nearby farm to the handler. They told him what they found and said they were going to kill it unless he wanted it. I think he gives them something like $20 and takes the snake back to his property, where we can photograph it. Then he can release it in a safer location on his property. By the way, this was captured with my longest telephoto lens equivalent to a 1000mm full frame lens.
