Standing Black Bear Cub and Mama

Not to often do I come across Mama and her cub and have the time to pull out the camera and take a few shots. I was quadding on a logging road in Naden Harbour, Haida Gwaii when I put on the brakes to see these two sauntering across the gravel. They stopped and took notice of me. Baby Bear was curious, so much he had to get on his hind legs. I think Mama didn't want any part and wanted to depart. They eventually did. I got my pictures and continued on to count salmon in a nearby river. Love those intimate moments with wildlife.
