“Pat-a-cake”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Back in 2019, I came across a mama black bear and her two cubs in Cades Cove, Tennessee. At first, the cubs were shy and peaked around trees at the group gathered admiring them. 

Soon they went about being bears and one rested at the bottom of a tree. They walked on top of a fallen tree, then they began wrestling. It was the cutest thing ever!

To top off the morning, they climbed a lot of trees and enjoyed snuggle time with mom.

I am so ready to see the cubs this year. It’s been a long wait!
