TSC: Moms, and vertical

Saw 2 bears Saturday, I was tickled.. haven't seen any in years and I see 2, about 15 km apart. I was snapping away and then thought right.. go vertical! I would have liked a bit more powerful lens. I watched this guy-girl for a very long time, he dug up roots, ate, peed.. and roamed around and just put on a show for me.Thank you Mr Bear!
I do hope everyone had a happy mothers day! I dedicate this to my Mom who passed 7 years ago, almost to the day. She was always our protector!

Good catch! =)

This vertical composition challenge works very well here. And in general I like how the challenge opened my eyes to see things from totally different point of view.

Well done pointing out the quality of fierceness of most mothers.

We don't go outside that often to find bears roaming around either, Wendi! ;-)
A lovely sentiment expressed in the words. I expect your Mum had helped you with the challenge.

Mums are like that, always have been and always will be. Nicely put together as a way to honor your mum. Thanks for sharing your encounter with the bear and your words of tribute. :) xx

Shuttering Yukon replied to Wierd Folkersma:

all bears are dangerous, black-brown bears are more of a vegetarian, grizzly bears however are not, they are far more unpredictable. We always joke when we see see bear poo.."is there flannel in it?" if there is it's a grizzly poop and he just ate a human!
