Bearmuffs

Nunavut

Just as in "Baby Steps", my Inuit guide and I happened upon a mother bear and her two cubs while they rested on the ice. Mother bear looked very tired. Maybe she'd just had a big meal and needed to take a well-earned rest. The little cubs were quite rambunctious but kept close to mom. This little guy was all over her. He climbed over her head a few times and I thought it would make a rare shot, but couldn't get the image I wanted. Luckily, he kept it up for quite some time when suddenly he climbed up sideways, draping himself over mom's head. The title for the piece was self-evident.
