American Creek Katmai National Park Alaska This photo was taken on American Creek in Katmai National Park (Alaska). I took my two sons on this fishing trip just prior to my youngest son's deployment to Afghanistan (U.S. Marine Corps). They were both busy rigging up their fishing rod and were oblivious to what was going on behind them. Luckily I had the camera ready (Nikon D90) and snapped the photo just before the brown bear ducked back into the bushes.
