“Hanging Out” – A black bear cub hangs out in a tree while its mother fishes for pink salmon in Anan Creek. I love this image because the cub looks so comfortable and relaxed in what seems like a very precarious position on a couple of skinny branches. Black bear cubs are great climbers. I have watched baby bears in trees so many times, I cannot begin to count, and I never seen them fall. This photo illustrates the month of June in my 2018 Alaska Calendar. Enjoy the photo and thanks for visiting – Camera: Nikon D800, Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm, Digital Capture, hand held ©Mark Kelley
