p.1 #1Winter Cubs and Momma Edit: and now Papa bear too!
Congratulations to lighthound for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 6 votes - View Previous Winners
It's that magical time of year again folks!
Here's a couple quick edits of some of the cutest little winter cubs I've ever been fortunate to click on before. They were so dang cute!
My wife wanted to snatch one up and snuggle with it. I'm pretty sure Momma wouldn't have liked that idea to much.
These little ones most likely have only been allowed outside the den for no more than a few days.
Edit: I just added the Papa bear image to this set that I didn't have processed yet. I think he adds a certain "charm" to the family mix.
Hope you enjoy!

Dave - Cute, cute cubs ! What a find, good for you. They are so much fun to watch and shoot at the age. They are like little spiders climbing up a tree. Mom looks healthy and is checking you out. Great images !

Thank you Margaret. They were over the top cute. I especially liked seeing them walk. You could tell they had to concentrait on each foot step.

Thanks Karl. Glad you enjoyed the set. Momma was certainly a very healthy bear. She made it through winter extremely well despite having those little ones sucking the life out of her for months.
