Yellowstone National Park is a premier spot for finding Bears. In fact, you usually don't have to look hard. Just stop as soon as you see 100 cars parked along side the road. That's not always the case -- but, it sure seems like it. In this case, I was just passing Tower Falls and saw a half dozen cars along the road. Often, a half dozen cars means you are too late, most everybody has left. But, this time I was one of the first to arrive. It was a Sow and her two cubs. The Mother stayed pretty close to her cubs the entire time. And, although the cubs played around none strayed far from the tree line. This was a situation where if it had been in Canada, and I was the only person around I would have tried to get a little closer. However, with other people -- tourists with children -- as well as photographers, it just wasn't prudent to do so. As a professional you are obliged to obey all park regulations regarding wildlife. The photos turned out okay, although not great. (I was still using slide film at this point).
