This is the larger of the two cubs that regularly frequent our yard with their mother. The photo was captured back at the beginning of October when the bears were showing up more frequently. Even at 17mm, the cub got a bit too close to the front of the lens, clipping the leading paw. But I’ll take it. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/11 at 1/125th of a second.
Hey Mom, it’s that wide angle lens again playing tricks with perspective. Someday I’ll post an image of the same bear captured with my 17mm lens next to a shot with my 500mm lens. The bear will look like two different animals.
Thanks Sue. And to think I had been complaining about the lack of wildlife all summer. And then September and October happened and that all changed. Except for the bears. They’ve been regular visitors since we moved in but I finally found a good spot for them to take pictures of themselves.

So cute! He has your chin and eyes, Sean. Which when you think about it, is incredibly disturbing.
I don’t know about chin and eyes. Definitely my forehead (minus the hair, of course).
oh-oh- I think is great . to close for comfort, but great pic. )
That’s a great photo, Sean – can’t help it, but I envy you with your magical yard that welcomes such wildlife.
