BEARS
 |
 |
| I got to see these two cubs and their momma on my way to Pelsor by way of County Road 69 along Indian Creek. Got pictures of momma from "behind" as she was running further into the woods leaving her cubs up a tree. I waited for her to come back as the cubs were screaming their heads off. I could hear her but never saw her again. I left so the cubs would come down. I peeked from behind a tree as they hit the ground running and bouncing towards momma. It was a nice touch for an afternoon drive. Hope to see them again someday on the same friendly basis! |
