Fava beans & a chianti..

Sorry, thought the title was rather appropriate with this Grizzly, but it seems there is a limit to the number of characters allowed in the title?

These bears were going through a phase of Polyphagia, which means "eating too much" as they were getting prepared for Winter. Sadly at the rate at which they ate, it also had other consequences to their digestive system. This sow had just finish off eating a huge salmon and by her expression was re-living the moment, although being rather sloppy in the process. To me, having the eyes open would not have conveyed the 'savouring the moment', I think we all have been there is some shape or form. The slightly closed eyes is the bliss factor for me?

The young cub in the BG, 50/50, as I felt this one was eating, head down, although you could not tell, but being dark highlighted the salivating bears dribble for me. Perhaps this another case of seeing it in situ and reading too much in perhaps?

BTW the little black marks are flies/mosquitoes and they bite!
