A Lucky Day With A Bear Family

Back in May 2012 when I was first getting serious into photography, I took a trip with my wife to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. It was our first visit to these amazing national parks. I heard there would be a good possibility of seeing some wildlife but never in my wildest imagination did I expect to photograph a family of bears. I count myself lucky to have seen and photographed these magnificent creatures in the wild.

This cub stood on its hind legs which I had never seen a bear do before. Actually, this was the first time I saw bears in the wild so the moment was especially thrilling. There was a park ranger who stood between the bears and us spectators for safety.

I believe I shot this scene from my car along the road. Thank goodness momma bear was in a good mood.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed my work.

Beautiful shots, Alfredo!

Great shots Alfredo, and such a memorable moment. I wonder if this is the famous 399 bear, she's been known to have triplets.

Thanks Casey! You know what. It might have been bear 399.
