Learning from Nature

One of the things that draws me to nature photography is that it puts me in beautiful places and unique situations.  Outdoors in nature is my happy place.  Just being there and observing is the biggest part of it.  Having a camera along to hopefully capture what I see and what I feel is a big bonus.  

In this series of images I am capturing what I was observing while I held the shutter button down.  

Sometimes I get caught up in the moment and forgot to release the shutter.  :) 

Here the sow has caught a sockeye salmon

One of the 2 cubs approaches and does a test touch of the fish

The touch went well , next comes a somewhat tentative bite

Then a full bite and tugging against mom's steady pull with a paw swipe to cut the fish in half.
