An Encounter with Nature
As a nature photographer, I have to brave the elements.But despite the wind and the rain, I still enjoy working outside in the wild.One of the best things about this job is (1)that you can obrve animals in their natural environment.
My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park.As the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife, 杨逸韬but it is probably best known for its bears.The huge, strong animals can live for 30 years.Despite a weight of up to 300 kilograms, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.
Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path (2)that took me through a dark forest.(3)When
I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking.An eagle flew over the snow-capped mountains, (4)which were reflected in the still lake below.(5)While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene，I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched.Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, and froze.Only meters away from me was a bear.(6)With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me.Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to e (7)who would move first.My legs started shaking.Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button.A cond later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest.(8)When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera.My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.
From time to time I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals.(9)It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.
