When you realize the weekend is over… Never hurts to “paws” and reflect on the day and what you hope the new week brings. (Or where you put that half-eaten salmon you were saving for dinner.) What’s this bear thinking? Maybe it’s just enjoying the view? Adult brown bears actually lead fairly solitary lives and are fine to entertain themselves. As an extroverted introvert, they don’t mind socializing when there is abundant food or during mating season. Okay, who brought the salmon bites again? ⁣Image: Deep thinker.

Alaskan Bear therapist is above our pay grade.) NPS photo by Buck Mangipine⁣ #lakeclarknationalpark #alaska #bear #nationalparks #weekend #deepthoughts
