Thanks Chris. It was a good trip, bears are always fun. I only get to do it a couple times a year.

Very nice variety of bear images from cubs to a what looks like a big old boar. I like the eye contact in all of them as well as the image of them all walking away down the road. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for looking and leaving comments. Grateful

2 and 5 are standouts and there all good John. The last made me feel sad to see them go.

Morris

Thank you Morris. I think # 12 is the mom and three cubs I found in the spring. I was glad to see all the cubs alive and thriving.
When you find them it's such a great feeling, and when they start walking away it is heart breaking.

Happy Holidays

All are nice, perfectly focused, wonderfully detailed shots. #5 takes the prize for me - great composition and fall colors.

Thank you Jim. He/she was up the tree and came down hung at the base for just a minute .

Awesome set, John. I really like numbers 5 and 7. That first one looks like a steel drum with legs stuck on. Must be either a corn or soybean field nearby?

Hi Dan. Thank you, I always like to know which image viewers like best. Yep corn is abundant in this area.

Wonderful set John! That adult in the first shot and near the end looks ready for hibernation, with a very full belly,

! Your bear shots are becoming something I look forward to.
Eric

Hi Eric. Thanks for the kind words. This area is a warmer location, I've been told they don't have a true hibernation here. Really glad you enjoy them. Bears and owls are my current two favorite subjects.
