Breakfast with the Newborns

This morning I was very tired. I had worked 12 hours shifts the last two days and in the rain. I was a little slow getting going. When I sat down to breakfast I looked out the window and there was 402 and the two cubs. They were munching on grass in the yard. I quickly ran and got my camera. Mom and cubs were starting to walk away but I snapped a couple of shots but they weren't turning out well and by the time I got things in working order the bears were gone. I was so frustrated with myself. I thought I would never get a chance like that again and I sat down to eat my oatmeal.

All of the sudden the little family was back. This time I took my time and concentrated. I got shots of the cubs climbing up the hill behind Mom into the yard. 402 decided for breakfast she needed some fiber and came and chewed on one of the logs of the cabin. The cubs tried to copy her but didn't have the teeth for the job yet. Next to the cabin is the emergency boat on a trailer. Mom walked by it but the cubs stood up on their hind legs and tried to take a look and checked out the motor. By the time the family moved on I was running late for work, my oatmeal was cold but I was in a much better mood. I am totally hooked on these bears.
