Momma Bear and Two Yearlings

Firstly, the good news...my desktop is back home and working fine. Hooray. I was just about to leave to go collect my computer when I looked out our kitchen window and saw mom and her two yearlings. I grabbed my camera and took some shots. The quality isn't terrific but I was shooting through a wire fence at very high ISO and was pleased to even get the shots. On the other hand, I'm NOT pleased to know that a mom with two such large cubs feels as if she can meander through our property so close. Moms with babies are the most dangerous and yearlings the most unpredictable. Sure hope Pearl doesn't get the idea she should go anywhere near them.
Thanks for you well wishes re my computer and for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
What a sight to see out your window! And a bit unnerving to have them so close! Fabulous capture!

What a sight! But I think I would be a bit concerned too, must be quite worrying so close!! Nice capture.

Neat capture :)

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to look out of your window to see that sight

Great shot - but dangerous to be so near your property!

How cool to see that sight out your window :)

Gracious - a rather unique photo! Glad you feel safe behind the window but what happens when you hang the washing out?
March 22nd, 2017  
Wow that is amazing. :-)

WOW! Fabulous capture! The bears around here are still hibernating, there is lots of snow still on the ground.

Great to see such a sight from your window! Awesome capture in by book

I'm guessing you're saying that wire fence might not be as much protection as you'd like :) Pretty hard to explain that all to Pearl. But what an unbelievable shot to get - or even to just experience. Love this. Fav

Yikes, I'd be scared stiff to see that trio outside my place. They may be beautiful animals, but … Excellent shot though, I can't see the fence at all.

Looks really good to me. Great shot. That would really be something to see outside of your house. But like you said, probably need to be really aware when you go outside.

Wow a wonderful capture fav

Oh, good news re the computer, but momma bear and cub are NOT! Will you keep Pearl on a leash for the foreseeable future? I'd be worried about her judgement! Great catch of them all.
March 23rd, 2017  
@taffy I am somewhat worried re her judgement but leash at home...not going to work. She does seem to have a healthy caution re bears so far though
