Black Bears in June
I've been out in the woods snapping lots of black bear photos.
I think my photography is improving based on the amount of mosquito bites, brush scratches, and poison ivy I have (itch-itch-scratch-scratch.) Red Riding Hood has 3 new cubs this year, Ronny, Rocky & Ralphy. I still haven't managed to capture a decent photo of Red and all 3 of her kidlets together. The cubs never stay still long enough! Perhaps I'll get a decent photo of Red and her family after I stink less of Eau De Calmine Lotion.

That little one on the left side of photo #2 is just terrific!

Equil, that's almost like a Joey in a mama's pouch! I've always been intrigued by trees growing in trees. It just demonstrates the persistence of life. Like flowers on rocks.

A prego tree. Sucking sap from its mama...
 Booboo your babies are so precious. Love those little hairy bear lips.

I'm going to collect more seeds this year so I can spread the Penstemon digitalis--I'd love to have drifts of it. ...And drifts of other flowers too--like Ascelpias tuberosa (butteflyweed). |

Way cool markings on that one cub. It's like he's the zoro of bears. How's it feel to be directly responsible for all that life? It'd give me warm fuzzies.

I get warm fuzzies just watching the wildlife! Any wildlife (critters, birds, bees, butterflies, etc.) I'm not sure that I'm responsbile for the wildlife in our forest, but I do encourage it with native plantings and such. Also, I don't phone the DNR everytime I see a black bear. In other words, I think it's great that the black bears chose to live in our forest.

Aww... that is so sweet. I didn't quite think of it that way until you just stated it. If she hadn't raised those cubs, there'd be no 'grandcubs'. ~smile~ |
