Black Bear Cub in tree... :)

So cute :) Very nice shot, Krob78
Thank you Click, you're very kind! That's the Mama bear next to him on the right. I've got some additional images I've not processed yet. There were 3 cubs and the mother, all up about 35'-40' in the tree, taking a little siesta. This one seemed kind of over the nap thing...

You're braver than I. :D It's a beautiful shot. I love polar bear.


Not that brave really. I "forgot" to mention it was a vertical space. He was looking right up at the camera noise. The only brave bit was the wife was standing behind me. But I didn't think she would push me. ;D

This was horizontal space and just enough to feel almost comfortable. North west British Columbia off the Nisga'a highway. He was a very healthy specimen and sizing me up carefully.

He looks healthy alright. I would love to go back to BC to see the bears again.

An older shot from a trip to a fishery in Southeast Alaska plus a couple of new shots from an area near Katmai NP. The polar bears were taken in Churchill.
