"Black bear, bright blossoms. Ponderous hulk, delicate flowers. This study of contrasts plays one against the other as the wildlife subject takes a back seat to the wildflowers and grasses. Black bears move silently for being such large animals, and in my wilderness journeys I have often been surprised by their silent approach, either by accidental meeting or by a deliberate visit drawn by the aroma of my supper." - Stephen Lyman
