Throughout the summer, a mother bear and her two cubs were regular visitors to our yard. We saw them maybe four or five times. And they returned for a visit last Friday. The cubs have gotten big, as this guy was apparently trying to show me. Although he looks more like he’s trying to play an upright bass with that tree. Either way, nice to see them and be able to capture a bunch of images as they came into the middle of the backyard, played for a bit, looked for a few apples from our lone apple tree, then headed back into the forest. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/6.3 at 1/400th of a second.
Living in the Blue Ridge mountains we have a fair number of black bear sightings and as a result many photographs of such. This photo has to be in the top five of great black bear photos. Just wonderful…
And just where does this black bear reside?
