Sniff Sniff

A black bear rises to full height in a wildflower meadow, stretching toward a low-hanging branch to catch a scent on the evening air. Behind him, the Blue Ridge Mountains roll endlessly toward the horizon, bathed in the golden light of a summer sunset. Soft pinks and blues streak the sky as the bear—backlit and magnificent—investigates his world the way bears do: nose first. A playful title for a moment of pure wild curiosity.
