Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Grizzly Bear Cub

Mama bear plus two young bear cubs were feeding in this very little meadow that I happened upon near Maligne Lake in Banff National Park, Canada. All three of them were very aware of my presence AND totally relaxed about that. :)

You are very brave to be out there with these bears. A very special experience and an amazing shot,Jim.

Thank you very much, Terry, Fred, Hal, and Cindy! The three of them were just amazing to watch as they grazed on the vegetation. Eventually they wandered off into the woods without even a flinch. --Jim--

I would consider this a once in a lifetime shot. It is totally amazing! Kudos to you, Jim. I'm so happy that you are out there shooting again.

Beautiful capture, but I would have been super nervous about the situation.

Not sure how relaxed you should have been, Jim :). Great shot! Wow!
