Cheeky Black Bear in Alaska

We were in Girdwood at the Conservation Center when I spotted this cheeky black bear poking his tongue out. I loved the color contrast between the fireweed and the mountains behind him.

My husband told me to play tourist, even if it's in your own backyard. We've explored our great state of Alaska, and still haven't covered much of it! I like to write fantasy and I'm a singer/songwriter for fun. sandibatesonmusic.weebly.com
