    Edit Photo Details There should be salmon...   #canada #british_columbia #great_bear_rainforest #spirit_bear #kermode_bear
    A Spirit Bear paces up and down a stream that should be full of water and salmon at this time of year. There has been a severe drought in the Rainforest and the need for rain is immense. The whole ecosystem depends on good salmon runs and so far, those numbers are as low as the rainfall totals.

    This moment feels like pure magic to me, Douglas. I love how the bear's white fur is so stark against the lush green background while the perfect little rim-light on her fur. I can't get over how lovely the dappled light is in this forest. So beautifully done, thank you for sharing.
