Pole Dancing

Two cubs belonging to a beautiful Cinnamon Black Bear sow.  One inherited the brown genes and the other got the standard black bear variety.  They were browsing along the power pole right-of-way near the highway and took a break from the serious job of feeding and started playing with this one power pole.

Good behavior shot.  I would like to see this cropped a bit tighter.

Skip,  I think I could probably get away with a little tighter crop, but I failed to mention in the data that I was ~200 ft away with a 200 mm lens so this is already a little more than a 50% crop.
