Trail cam? Super long telephoto lens? Or did you snap this just before you ran?

This was taken with an iPhone at uncomfortably close quarters which is why it is off center as it is helpful to avoid eye contact with a bear. No running from Grizzly bears unless you want to get mauled.
Wow... I'd love to have an encounter like that as long as I came away safely - but I'd definitely have been very very nervous. Nicely done.
(And I was definitely joking with the running comment.)
There must be more to the story. You saw the bear with its bison head snack. You were uncomfortably close (where?). You pulled out your phone, pointed it at the bear, and took the photo. You averted your eyes from the bear's face as you took the picture, but that bear definitely is looking straight at you.
Then what?
Then the flash from the iPhone went off and...??
Must have been a tasty bison.
Weekly Zoom meeting with the "Ski Diva's" My view tonight from north of 7!
Took a bike ride up Big Cottonwood Canyon this morning to the Mill B trail head. Very busy up there this Saturday. This is the view coming down BCC at the big pinch in the road nearing the base of the canyon. You can only get this view on foot/bike as there is no place for a car to stop it's so tight.

The Lobstah' has arrived...
Shape of the melt... like seeing objects in clouds
That's what I was thinking... but I'm struggling to find the lobster.
Could be a scorpion.
I can see a lobster a scorpion and an evil sort of face.
The claws are a bit nebulous, I'll admit.
@Doug Briggs there are still some nice skiable patches up there. Are you partaking?
@Bad Bob , no skiing for me on those patches. It is a long hike to get there and technically closed. Now Fourth of July Bowl is more inviting at this time but an even longer walk; I don't think the roads have been opened for the public.
I am considering a drive up to Slalom on Boreas Pass, however. It provides easy access and fine tailgating opportunities. From a couple years back. Hi @UGASkiDawg!

This is from a couple day ago on the Jordan River Trail near South Jordan, UT. This lady had a really cute Yorkie in her backpack. The dog was like a little kid, looking all around like it's head was on a swivel.
This shot was a little tricky to get. I had to pull my cell phone out of my pocket and snap photo with one hand while moving through biker and walker traffic. The things we do for the photo of the day thread
