Nice tender moment captured here... I like the way it appears that the mother & most forward cub appear to be looking into each other's eyes.

So cute with the sow appearing to be giving a hug.

A lovely illustration of the nursing behaviour Missy, I could swear the sow was smiling with contentment!

Hello Missy

Beautiful layed back momma bear ,enjoying the contentment brought on by her suckling cubs.

Looks like she scooped out a sand chair to enjoy watching the little guys.

Well done to capture this special and intimate moment. Exposure and sharpness look good!
