Though we got very close to many bears on the recently concluded bear boat trip to Katmai National Park--just got home jet-lagged--this wider image is one of my very favorites. I had thought that these two were spring cubs but one of the group was sure that our guide said that they were scrawny yearlings. I will check with him soon. In any case this family was very shy.
Here I chose a lower left AF sensor and got lucky when both cubs were close enough to mom's plane to be rendered sharply and both were looking at me. This is the best of only two frames created as they came of a rocky ridge on the beach.

Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
