Very nice! I haven't seen any yet this year, and I've never seen any in my neck of the woods with the lighter brown fur.

I very much enjoyed viewing these.

Wow! You are the bear king or bear whisperer. This must be where they call "God's country".

Amazing photos! My favorite is the first of the close-ups! Glad you were using a Bigma, so you didn't have to get to close!

Terrific shots Heinrich! #2 and 6 for me.

**joip** · 07-27-2015, 02:20 PM

2, 5 & 7 for me, even though 6 is a perfect bear portrait. Would look great in the den

Beautiful shots all of them. The bears coats look so healthy!

Wow! Beautiful images, The closest we have here is once in a while a coyote will come out of our riparian area. Never while I have a camera ready. I really like #8 (the last one).

wonderful variety of photos Heinrich, what a pleasure this must be to view in person. TFS.

Thank you, last June I saw more light colored ones than black ones.

I very much enjoyed viewing these.

Thank you and I am glad that you liked them.

Thank you for the kind words and yes we do think it's gods country.

Thank you for the kind words, Bigma does come in handy, at the shorter end as well.

Thank you kindly, the bears are healthy, gorging themselves on dandelions

Hi Bob and thank you, it is a pleasure to watch them and I spent much time doing that.

A fine series to watch Heinrich. Overhere I can only watch bears in the zoo, so its a pleasure to see pictures of them in their natural habitat.
As far as i know from watching NG you should not get to close to a mama bear with cubs. Did you shot those from the safe environment of your car?

Thank you Andre, you NEVER get in-between mama bear and a cub and to answer your question: sometimes yes, sometimes no.
