The light was rather harsh, but I couldn't resist the shot. Taken at the the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, AK in early July 2002.

Looks like they're just getting comfy and that works well here. Love the little one with its head on its mother. Would definitely rotate CCW as much to even the horizon as to put the mother in a more comfortable-looking position.

Nice motif sot Tim. I love how relaxed they all look. It looks a little grainy/noisy but the subject matter and pose is precious.

Certainly harsh light Tim, and a little grainy as Cheryl said but the subjects are wonderful! The little cub resting its head on Mom is sweet but what makes it for me is Mom's upturned back foot!!

Cuteness makes up for the lighting. Love the little guy resting his head and the big pillow!

Tim, The facial expressions as they soak in the mud are great! The sow almost seems to be smiling. The little one with its head resting on Mom really cracks me up.
