Description
I spent about 45 minutes observing this mama bear and her young cub deep in the woods in Cades Cove on an early day in summer. The little cub was very high in the tree as mama grabbed a little rest at the base of the tree, napping on and off, and checking frequently on her baby straight up from where she was located. Although most of my pictures were of the cute little cubbie because he had better light at the top of the tree, I liked this shot of mama when she opened her eyes as a ray of sun broke through the dense tree cover and lit her up for a moment. Mama bears characteristically run their babies up trees so that they can have a few minutes of rest during a busy day. The cubbies occupy themselves playing up high until mama calls them down and they move on. It's an amazing thing to watch, and I never tire of seeing the interactions of black bears.
