Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, North Carolina — 2022
Hidden within a sea of blooming goldenrod, this black bear moved slowly through the coastal fields of eastern North Carolina as the season shifted toward cooler days. For only a brief moment, the bear lifted its head above the flowers before disappearing once again into the color and texture of the landscape.
Part of the Small Works collection, this image was selected for its layered composition and rich natural palette. The surrounding field softens the scene and creates a quieter, more immersive wildlife portrait that rewards a slower look.
