Having worked alongside coastal Alaskan brown bears for the past 7 years, I understand their behaviors and personalities intimately. In reality, they are actually quite non-confrontational. I believe mother bears, in particular, are one of the best representations of love, and an iconic symbol of Alaska. The first photo (\"Bear Family\") depicts a mother brown bear in Lake Clark National Park flanked by her two yearling cubs as they drink from a river. The second photo (\"Bear Gaze\") is a portrait of a brown bear in Katmai National Park and her very blonde yearling daughter, mimicking her mother's every move. Through my photographs, I hope to show people the gentler side of bears, and that viewers can see themselves in portraits like these. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eRylee Jensen is a wildlife photographer, researcher, and expedition leader living full-time in Juneau, Alaska who enjoys capturing the beauty of this state through the lens of her camera.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis submission was the third place winner in the photography category through public voting! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rylee_jay_photo\/\"\u003eINSTGRAM\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ryleejayphoto.com\/\"\u003eWEBSITE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kindred Post","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55460556931240,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0543\/7613\/files\/RJensen_postcard1_3e76a56c-b416-4584-8603-18ff79508993.png?v=1777070688","url":"https:\/\/www.kindredpost.com\/products\/2026-postcard-bear-gaze-by-rylee-jensen","provider":"Kindred Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
