Pretty neat timing on these kids, Sandy. I like the inclusion of the little trees as a scale reference. I know it's from a safe distance, but it looks like Mom's still keeping tabs on the intruding photogs devil

I like the pose of each bear and the surrounding environment couldn't be better. Love the placement of the small shrubs. They add greatly to the image. Nice capture!

Hi Sandy,

This one will make a very nice card--bear cubs doing something fun while mom keeps watch. Snow is an added bonus. Well done.......................Jim

Nice action. This captures the interaction of the bear family. The cubs being vey playful, while mom is always on the alert for danger. Nice capture.

Thumbs up. I like the three active poses and excellent exposure.

Sandy, this brings to mind Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Very nice whimsical photo.

Love the isolation and simplicity showing off these beautiful animals.
