 Mama grizzley was hunting for food with her cub when I found them in Yellowstone Park, mama stopped to look me over but continued her quest for food after she checked me out, but I knew not to go beyond the safety of my car door. The cub is in another shot smelling the wild flowers.

Really lovely capture of a grizzly, especially with those flowers in the background! Great DOF too.

Nice photo. No way in hell I'd be that close to her. But nice job otherwise...
