Black Bear Sow & Cub

We watched this sow and her cub for hours. While mom foraged, jr explored every nook, cranny and climbing post. They were a joy to watch.

Nice shot Ken; I like the watchful look on mom's face and the mischievious perky-eared look of the little guy.

Great comp, Ken. It's tough to get all the downfall out of many shots there (I'm assuming this is Tower), and you isolated the bears here well. The greens are nice too.
