I gotta hand it to you, there y'are, just calmly taking some pics. I'd be freaking out. And looka the underside of momma's paw there. I wouldn't want to bump into her on a dark night, that's for sure. I prefer that sort of nature from a distance.

I also just noticed she's still nursing the cubs, too. Yikes! Isn't that the most dangerous time to have an encounter with momma?

You are very observant. After viewing the thumbnails, I enlarged the photos and then also said "Yikes!"

Great photos, however.

Not really any danger there, thanks to a telephoto lens.

Cool bear pics!
When I see the male up here, I give him wide berth...
We have a sow with cubs most Autumns; she gets a very wide berth, if I see her in the mtn meadow she frequents.

There are no places to run to up here as the houses are so spread out. Thus, I pack some mornings on my hump up the hill.
GL, mD

I still don't understand how it climbed that thing. There wasn't much of anything to get a footing on.

Gosh. It sounds like a perfect place for a person who loves animals of any sort. I'm not overly fond of snakes but do understand that the black ones are good & the copperhead are not. How would I find information on apartments?
