"BABY ON BOARD"

Grizzly Bear Cub

(Kananaskas, Alberta, CA)

Wildlife photography can involve a great deal of driving and miles and then there are times it's better to be lucky than good.

A mother grizzly bear had been spotted in a large meadow and the trails from the parking lot were closed for everyone's safety. So there we were sitting in the car, chatting and enjoying the scenery and the snow which had begun to fall, when from out of the closed trail popped Mother Grizzly first, followed in quick succession by her three beautiful and healthy cubs. Their appearance lasted approximately one minute before she turned back, with her entourage in tow. Just enough time to get a few quick shots from the car, of the little ones before everyone disappeared back into the woods, (And you just hope that the camera settings were correct.)

There is such intelligence behind those young eyes.
