Wow! Gil, this is awesome - weren't you just a teeny bit afraid? I can't imagine capturing something like this! Whoo Hoo! Kudos, congratulations on the Blue Border, and you have my personal award for bravery, too.

Thanks much to the Approvers for the Blue on the Bears. Much appreciation.
Fantastic shot, Gil ! Mama Bear was pretty daring to bring her cubs close to Taos DOWNTOWN ! Quite amazing and exciting ! CONGRATULATIONS on your AC, Gil !!!
WOW, Gil! An absolutely FANTASTIC capture. What were they doing in town? Is it the weather that has driven them from the hills? Their expressions are priceless! Beautifully composed; wonderful photography!! 10!
Congratulations on an outstanding AC and great series!
Thank you very much Liz, Linda, Maxine, Gary, & Doug for all your great comments. Much appreciated.
Linda: this is quite common in our area, Bears are around all summer not only here, but in the communities in our parts of the country, every year. They were quite active early part of summer, tho I had not seen any this year til now. They are just trying to fatten up for the winter. Kinda like my midnite snacks before going to bed. Early part of the summer, just a short ways from home, one little Cub had to go right thru an outside wedding reception at a fancy hotel. Guess the Mama was not with him. (good thing).
What an incredible shot, and series, Gil! Wow, but you were close! They say we will have lots of bears coming down to town this year, because it was so dry, their food supply was quite short up in the mountains. I'm glad you were right next to your car and ready to go, but I'm glad you got these shots! AWESOME series, Gil! Congratulations on your Blue for this one, but it could have gone to any of them!
wow Gil!!..this shot is waaay better than my 'little' Bobcat of a few days ago!!! I hope you were using a zoooom lens for this big Mama and 'baby'..!! AC congrats :)
