These three cubs were one of the highlights from last week!  I have a version with all three standing, but I like how the two cubs are looking at their mom in this version.  The cubs were looking at their mom out of concern as another sow had moved into the meadow.  After some tense interaction that included some jaw popping and stomping, the other sow finally moved on and all were fine.

Here are more of my bear photos:  http://www.wildnatureimages.com/Bear.htm

[in these woods[

in these woods
boughs are breaking
finally giving in
to too long a time
spent fighting the wind

in these woods
the moonlight is muted
waiting for you
to return to walk them
again beneath the stars

in these woods
you will hear whispers
asking you softly
won't you come again
and let it shine

We were watching the mother when these three cubs (of four) emerged out of the reeds to drink. Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania. Thank goodness it wasn't the mother looking at me and licking her lips! Added to my WILD album.

This image also shows the strengths of the new Canon 1Dx; the fast shutter has allowed me to capture the lip lick and the much higher useable ISO meant I could work in relatively low light at iso 2000 and still have enough shutter speed to get some sharpness with the 300ml 2.8 lens and a two times converter. Canon does seem to have got this one right.

Where my last post pictured this same climb from above (https://plus.google.com/115469569932946930879/posts/ZqiijyE5vQX), the more impressive view was from below. There all the facets in the ice and its hard blue could be more fully appreciated.

I could not have had better company for this shot. Got a chance to hang out with most of the folks who are nearest and dearest to me and despite the security guard, the dismal light, and the last minute decision to take this shot under deplorable conditions....it all worked out beautfully. Thanks for the karma Jared, Tanya, and Gordo. Love you guys!!!!! (yes Jared..two post in 2 days....gotta keep up!)

What is Plus Extract?

It's your DAILY dose of TOP Google Plus photographs, which were chosen by an algorithm that combines automatic steps and manual curation. This means that the DAILY TOPs are NOT based solely on popularity, and users with a small number of followers have a chance to be featured in the TOP. We use Google+ API for the automatic steps; Jarek Klimek is responsible for curation and communication with the authors.

We strongly respect the authors and their rights. +Jarek Klimek contacts every photographer featured in all DAILY TOPs and if any author decides that he/she doesn't want to be featured in the TOP, we respect this absolutely.

Catherine Hall About us and Google+

Google+ has flourished into a bustling online community for photographers – and one reason is the exceptional contribution of early adopters such as Jarek Klimek, Editor of PhotoExtract magazine.

Jarek had the foresight to research the new social network and created an authoritative list of photographers to follow on Google+.

His viral list has not only become one of the top referring resources of photography trailblazers, it is also shared and watched by leaders such as Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble and Darren Rowse.

Jarek has helped introduce the work of great photographers to Google+ photography enthusiasts and I was very excited to share his insights with viewers on TWiT Photo.
