CAMOUFLAGED

A Polar Bear resting peacefully waiting for the ice to form on the Hudson Bay. I took this image during a trip to Churchill, MB Canada in November—my “shooting hand” was very cold! There are more bears than humans in the town of Churchill during this time of year and we encountered many.

The bear blends in with the environment so well it would be easy to pass by without seeing it. I particularly liked this composition with the little green tree.
