I also secretly hoped for a decent viewing of the predominantly solitary Sloth Bear [my second ‘wished for’ subject of the trip] … but I didn’t hold out a lot of hope regarding the latter. Then it happened. A head-on view of the bear lasting only precious seconds and affording a quicksilver opportunity for this portrait. ~ Anecdote and Sloth Bear capture, A Quicksilver Opportunity © Jerry L. Ferrara
