I've been waiting a while for this one!! 🐻

There's a section of the forest I've always known was a perfect spot for a cub in the trees photo. My buddy Jack has got some amazing photos there and I was dreaming of my chance to do the same.

Sunday, I finally got my chance.. and the bears decided to overdeliver.

Mama and her three cubs were all up in the trees when I found them, and I got to spend about 15 minutes watching the little family climb around before mama came down and kept an eye on me while the cubs looked to her to see what to do next.

Eventually they got the hint, climbed down and disappeared into the meadow together.

One of those encounters where the shots I had in my head ended up even better in real life and I'm glad I got to enjoy it with the guy who inspired my love for these beautiful Florida black bears.

Woooooow what a weekend it was with the bears! I think my final *seen* count was around 16, but I was also there for 8 hours. 🫠

Got to meet this handsome fella and he gave me a quick lesson in personal boundaries.

He wasn't letting me get close in the car so I decided to approach on foot, as safely as possible.

He tolerated me for a bit and right after this shot he made his personal space policy clear with a couple stomps and grunts, so I backed off and we said our goodbyes.

Thanks for the great photo big guy, you're a champion. 🤣

Heyyyyy bear, heyyy BIGGG bear!!! 🐻

What a fun encounter this was. I made my way up to the forest Wednesday, hoping to capture some awesome Milky Way and meteor shots.

I decided to go early to get some possible snake or bear time in, thankfully that paid off because the meteor plan got clouded out. 😭

Ran into some friends and we did a bit of exploring, then I spotted a huge figure crossing the road and planted myself to wait.

When we saw this enormous bear come sauntering down the path we knew where he was headed and got to sit and watch him come down for a little sip of muddy water.

My first time getting to see this big boy, hopefully the first of many more!
