Happy #IReadCanadian Day!

One of my favourite polar bear photos I've taken to date. It was a weird, misty evening with just a sliver of sunlight coming through the fog, lighting up this bear on the rocks just outside of town. #mammals 🌿 #BearSeason2025

That’s the second-worst blown lead by a blue team in Canada this year.
