Well done Christopher. There is a big danger factor with mama bears and cubs so I am sure you were careful to use a very long lens.

Great Shot Chris! We saw 4 bears yesterday too! One was a cub. My granddaughter was thrilled. They were too far away for good shots. We will be back:)

I’m glad you posted this picture despite the dark time of the day. It is a joyful shot when a human is seen being watched by a creature other than ourselves….lol
