Gentle Protection
One of the more special moments I've seen with the bears in Shenandoah National Park. Mom had seen me about 5 minutes before, watched me diligently and knew I wasn't going to invade her space. Still, she watched me while her cubs played.

Model Bear
This bear literally stayed between these two trees for a better part of 45 mins. I believe he'd been to modeling school.
