Is very frustrating as they were heading away from me through some heavy timber. Anyhow, this is a pair of two year old cubs somewhat in the open as they were feeding. Mother was further in the timber and I was unable to get any decent images of her. At times the snow was quite heavy and the bears could not be seen. These shots were all taken as the snow waxed and waned and played hell with the Auto Focus!
On another note, I have been fighting a bad head cold for the past week. Normally I wouldn't mention this but I'm scheduled for my first cataract surgery tomorrow morning. Just finished with the surgeon's nurse who cleared me to have the surgery as my temperature is back to normal and bronchial coughing has subsided. My second cataract surgery is scheduled for the 24th so don't know if I will be posting much for the next couple of weeks.

Wonderful to get these shots of the Grizzlys. Not easy to get these in the snow, plus not feeling well to boot.
Good luck with your surgery, and hope you feel better soon.
Good work given the circumstances, Jim!
Prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery, Jim!

Many thanks, Bob...I appreciate your good wishes!!
Good luck with the surgery. Hope all goes according to plan.
Pictures are good. We work with what we get.
(1) Great Grizzly Shots, and (2) keep us updated on progress after surgery. It's a process that I will be going thru in the next year if I can get enough courage up. Good luck!

Feel better and good luck on your first cataract surgery tomorrow morning. It should go well for you.I put Grizzlys in snow on my bucket list. Stan
Jederick, those are good shots. Haven't been on the forum much lately so I know nothing about your surgery but whatever I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. I'm in the hospital right now recovering from colon cancer surgery that I had Monday. Hoping I get a good biopsy report tomorrow saying it didn't spread. The surgeon said he saw no signs that it had spread. So I'm staying positive.
When and where? I got some on the 24th south of Roaring Mt with the same terrain!
Take care and hurry!
