Black Bear

On a recent camping trip I got to spend about 15 minutes with this young bear while it basked in the warmth of the sun.

Thanks everyone.

It was nice to get a pose like this. Usually with the bears they are walking, running or digging. Not too often you get one sitting not doing anything but enjoying itself - unless at a zoo.
