Neat a mom and her cubs, but at the same time I'd be spooked( at the fact that bears are in my back yard). Where exactly do you live? They've had a few spotting's down here which is almost non-existent which somewhat has me on my tippy toes. =)

No s%^t, bears are only cute from far away. Or, behind steel bars at a zoo. Otherwise they would eat you just as soon as look at you. Cyder, cool pics..but I hope you are using a real long lens......

rugs in front of a fireplace...
remember only you, and sometimes lightning, can start forest fires.
yeah, bears, cute. don't forget to stand under tree when they need to drop a load.... and you thought pigeons were bad???

Stay away from that situation. Very cool to see, but a mother and her cubs are not to be messed with. I hope the local wildlife control has been called. That is a very dangerous situation.
Great pics though, thanks for sharing.

Most predator/omnivorous animals, usually don't like the taste of Human beings.
To Be blunt : we taste bad.
Our diets make our meat taste bad to most predators. And here's the fun part it doesn't matter if your a vegetarian or not - we still taste awful.
here's the but........
To a scavenger that will eat rotten meat without blinking twice (wolves, wolverines, coyotes, bears, raccoons, dogs, etc) We taste just fine. But a couple of hundred years have made them wary of humans.
Even knowing this..... You can't get me anywhere near a national park in Alberta till after June, when most of the predators in the parks have had they're winter hibernation hunger pangs satisfiyed

hehe, black bear aren't too bad to people until they feel threatened or until somebody comes between mama & cubs. I haven't been scared of black bear since I was a kid, then again us here in the great valley of Virginia are spoiled with the skyline drive (in Blue Ridge Mountains). I've filmed a few of them there & they have yet to attack anybody who didn't deserve it..lol;^]
