Description

In the early hours of the morning, a mother Brown Bear took a few seconds to lie down and get some well earned rest from minding her boisterous cubs. She lay still just long enough to get a sharp image, as the very low light meant a long shutter speed was required. After less than a minute, she was back to foraging and keeping an eye on her cubs.
