Momma Bear

I was travel nursing in Yukon this summer, and was camping near Haines Junction during my sets off. I had actually pulled over to get a picture of a deer, but was too slow with the camera. After sitting there trying to adjust my settings, I saw a head pop out of the bushes in front of me. After that, 2 more little heads popped out, and I realized what I was seeing. Momma started huffing at me when I stepped out beside my car, but we all kept our distance from each other. The little ones played briefly on the road before being ushered across by a protective mother. It was just the 4 of us for kilometres around, and I am grateful to have caught this moment.
