A mom and cub black bear sneak by group of clueless photographers who have just left the viewing deck at the Anan Wildlife Observatory near Wrangell, Alaska. I have showed this image to a lot of people, and their reactions range from a small smile or a chuckle to an out right belly laugh. I wish I could find more images like this one. Life just gets better with humor. This image illustrates the month of July in my 2022 Alaska Calendar. Thank you for visiting and for the gift of your time.
