Artwalk, Whitefish Montana


my photos are not that clear
maybe even
hard to see what you are looking at
but that is a good thing

that means that i was far enough away...

~
i was in the forest cutting wood with my friend
looking across the meadow
i noticed a dark form
i thought:
i will watch to see if it moves
AND
move it did
right up this tree!
it was a bear
such a grand sight to see

then with binoculars
we could see she had two tiny cubs up that tree
one came down to nurse

they sat on branches
feet dangling

Mamma above
cub on lower branch, can you see them?

here is how high up the tree they were:

such a Wonder-Full experience

    That was a great sighting, Tammie! The very best way to see a mother with her cubs.

  2. How wonderful to see the little bear family, especially at a safe distance! Momma bear had those babies well trained to stay up high in the tree lest any papa bears come along.

  3. Amazing sight,although I am glad they were in the tree so you were not being seen as a threat by mama.

    Would love to come to Whitefish, do you think anyone will notice I have disappeared from the UK?

  12. Een wonder mooie ervaring Tammie,die jij had.
    Niet ongevaarlijk een moeder beer met haar pupjes laat geen mensen toe.
    En als ik goed kijk zie ik ze zitten in de boom.
    Heel mooi om mee te maken!!!
    Liefs
    zonne groetje

  14. You may have heard this from me before Tammie, but I never got to see a bear on my visit to Swan Hills in Canada. Well done in capturing them and good luck with your exhibition.
