The coolest part about having my camera along was the video feature on it. The first time they came I forgot all about it, but in the afternoon I took a couple short video clips of the cubs at the base of my tree. Thank God for digital camera's!

Here is a little part of the story I didn't tell cuz i was in a hurry, the first time she came in, and she first noticed me (about a minute after that first picture I posted) I was taking a picture of her cubs and i moved my eyeballs back towards her because i knew that she had been looking at me periodically and I was startled to see her stand up on her back legs and look a little closer at me, she stood up for about 5 seconds and then went back down on al fours and continued to feed within 25 yards of me for another 5 minutes. I was watching her closely with the cubs to my right, and all of a sudden i heard one of the cubs start huffing and looked over and he ran about 15 feet up a tree 15 yards in front me! I was a little nervous, I turned my eyes back towards the sow, and she took another one of her short glances at me, and then continued eating and the cub went back down and they kept looking for acorns like nothing had happened. PHEW!

The scariest and most exciting parts were when she stood on her back legs and when the cub started climbing my tree, and when the cub climbed 15 feet up another tree, and i don't have a picture of any of those events because those moments are when the mood was VERY tense and my mind was on what the sow was going to do, and not on taking pictures.

Here is one more for you all.
