Sometimes chilling on a warm rock and watching the day with half open eyes it just what a bear needs.
A bit of a story to this shot... We were on a logging road and we saw a Mom and Cub a good 500 yards away, the Mom sent the cub up the tree with a few grunts she then stood protectively at the bottom. There was a large bank off the road so other than distance she had virtical seperation from us. While I was focus on the cub climbing my friend Stuart yells at me , "Get in the truck!" which was very alarming as we were very close to the truck. Thank goodness I didn't question him I just drove for the door and piled in. Mother Bear was charging us totally unexpected as we were so far away. Thank you Stu for staying aware.
The Mother from my Cub post yesterday. Easier when reviewing photos she was on the edge but very diffucult to identify at the time, from the distance I didn't hear her grunts. This is a 70% crop with noise reduction shot at ISO 1800.
