Black Bear Cub DSC_2252

Yellowstone, Wyoming

I am still processing Yellowstone pictures and I found this black bear cub. The mother was just barely visible in the bushes and seemed a little camera shy.

1/400s f/5.6 at 200.0mm iso200 full exif

Great! My shot of a bear last year in Montana was not too sharp as I had the motor running for a fast getaway. :)

Geez, you're lucky mom was shy. The alternative could have cost you your camera. LOL. Sweet little critter and a wonderful capture.

Breland, the first thing that popped in my mind was a poem from somewhere in the past "A bear went hunting, he did go.........." He looks pretty in the grass, but a bit ruffled.

You stood still long enough to get the shot...mine would have been a movement pic...me, running like you wouldn't believe :>)

Well, thank goodness she was camera shy! I'm with Karen! Nice job and courage, Bre.

Great capture! Glad the mother stayed in the bushes!!! Keep posting your Wyoming photos! They are fabulous!

Yikes Bre! If I ever saw a cub with the mother in the same state I think I'd faint. 200 mm isn't very far away. Great shot!

This is sooo deceiving! They always look so cute but can be so menacing. We had a few cruising the neighborhood a few summers ago...even got into people's houses. I know, I know...we moved into THEIR territory. Great lighting in this image.
