Black Bear Cub, Juneau, Alaska #3436

A black bear cub pauses to take a break from ravenously feeding on dandelions along Juneau’s road system. Each spring dandelions line the roadside of, what Juneauites call “Out the Road.” The yellow banquet of flowers, although invasive, provides a much-needed food source for the bears. I love that the dandelions are taller than this first-year cub. This image illustrates the month of May in the 2023 Juneau Alaska Calendar. I will be at the Juneau Public Market at Centennial Hall November 25-27. Come by to say hello and purchase your signed calendars. Thank you for visiting and for the gift of your time.
