A black bear mother and her cub cross a rock field in the Rockies. |
It was a three bear day last Sunday on our drive up the Jasper-Banff Parkway. We saw a young black bear just inside the Banff Park gate along Highway 11 and then we saw this mother and cub along the Parkway near the Weeping Wall.
Mike spotted them. I pulled over as quickly as I could and then we proceeded to cause quite a bear jam on both sides of the highway.
After taking many photos we drove on to the Weeping Wall. When we came back to the site perhaps 10 minutes later there was an even bigger bear jam.
We stopped and got more pics including the one posted.
I hope seeing baby bear brings you as much joy as it brought us.

Thanks, Mary Anne.
Your bear photos make me happy. This one particularly so. You know, I still have the bear eating dandelions as my desktop photo. Thanks for that. xo
You are welcome, Virginia Lee. The bears are glad to make you happy.
It does make me smile. It's a confirmation that life is going on.
Glad you smiled.
Parent and baby out for a leisurely stroll. Love it, Leah. And mom probably said "lets go take a look at what the humans are doing today."
Ha! David, I bet you are exactly right.
How did I miss this post??
Fabulous picture of momma and baby!
Why thank you, BL.
Wow.. what a great sighting and fine photo. I hope we'll be seeing the occasional bear where we're moving.. just not too close. ;)
Bears are wonderful at a distance. A little too wonderful up close.
I hope your sightings are only wonderful.
