BEAR  HUGS

 

 

This weekend my husband and I enjoyed the antics of two

young grizzly bears at the Wildlife Park in Kamloops, B.C.

The park is home to many different species of animals that

are native to the province of B.C. Some have been orphaned

or have been injured and rehabilitated but are unable to be

released into the wild again.

While there were other animals that we enjoyed seeing,

none were as entertaining as this rambunctious pair of bears.

 The siblings gave me plenty of opportunities to photograph them

at play and at rest. Below is one of the resident Bald Eagles

who has suffered a broken wing.

It was a great place to collect reference material for my paintings.
