Bears are extremely human, even down to their footprints. But I am also a fly fisherman, so I have fished beside brown bears in Alaska and was once charged by a black bear. I love bears.
I've never liked the moment of seeing something beautiful - a sunset, a moose, an elephant - and then raising a camera and trying to capture it for some future moment. That's always struck me as strange.
I once owned a home on an island off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
When a trout rises to a fly, it does not swim as much as tilt its fins and jet skyward.
