Great Smoky Mountains National Park — Spring 2023
Just before disappearing back into the forest, the young bear paused for a moment beside the tree and looked out into the fading light. Surrounded by deep shadows and soft evening color, the scene carried the quiet curiosity that often defines encounters with young wildlife in the Smokies.
Part of the Small Works collection, this image was selected for its intimate composition, gentle light, and emotional simplicity. The dark forest surrounding the cub draws attention to the small expression and sense of wonder within the moment.
