Alaskan Brown ate my salmon!
We were fishing in Alaska when my husband caught a salmon. Suddenly there was a large crashing sound and this mother and four cubs dove in. She ate the salmon right off the line. Basically, he caught a beautiful bear! (photo: Konnie Kitt)

Lone Bison in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin
Drove through Yellowstone on my own and was blown away by the all the natural wonders and wildlife. But I was most impressed with how wide open and undeveloped it still is 140 years after it was founded. It's rare to still have places in America where it can just be you, a bison and miles of untouched nature in all directions. (photo: Brendan Gilmer)
