Bears in a Rock­rim­mon Tree in Col­orado Springs

On the morn­ing of 6/30/2009  a friend of mine, Bar­bara called me with a sit­ing of 3 bear cubs and mother bear in a tree in their back­yard.  So I loaded up my photo gear and headed down in hopes of  pho­tograph­ing these bears. The bears were asleep on dif­fer­ent parts of the tree between 30′ to 50′ up. After the cubs awoke they were play­ing and climb­ing   all over the tree while mom was still asleep. After the cubs woke-up their mom they all climbed down to the base of the tree and the 3 bear cubs enjoyed a deli­cious breakfast.
