17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Grizzly Mom and Cub resting in the rain

The ranger assured the growing crowd at Yellowstone that this was a Black Bear and cub--but nevertheless, stay at a safe distance. I was pretty sure it was a Grizzly and that the entire crowd was too close, but what do I know? I just kept shooting and hoping all would be well. Glad I am here to tell the tale!
