Black Bear in a Teton Meadow, Grand Teton National Park, by Ruby Hour Photo Art ~ Marcela Herdova

In a sun-dappled meadow framed by the rugged peaks of the Teton Range, a black bear moves with quiet purpose. Its glossy coat contrasts sharply against the golden grasses that sway gently in the mountain breeze. The bear pauses, alert and curious, sniffing the crisp air and listening to the soft rustle of the meadow. Behind it, towering pines and distant snow-capped peaks create a dramatic backdrop, emphasizing the harmony of wilderness and wildlife. The scene is at once powerful and serene — a fleeting glimpse of the untamed spirit that thrives in Grand Teton National Park.
