I was driving along a logging road. Slowly, because of the potholes, so I was able to stop before I came too close to this little family.
Lousy photos, but you get the idea.

| Mamma bear and her 3 cubs. Taken through the very dusty windshield. |
 |
| Nobody moved, so I rolled my window down. The mother retired into the bush, and her cubs are following her, taking their time; I'm too far away to worry them. |
 |
| Last view of the cubs. I had moved the car forward a few metres; that was enough to convince them to leave. |
Total time elapsed; 1 minute, 18 seconds. Made my day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Andaba por otro camino de madereros. Manejaba despacio, por los baches, así que pude detener el coche con tiempo para no espantar a esta familia.
Las fotos no salieron muy buenas, pero cuentan la historia.
- Una osa y sus tres crías. La foto la saqué por el parabrisas, bien cubierta de polvo del camino.
- No les importaba mi presencia, y bajé la ventana. La madre, entonces, se metió al bosque, y los cachorros la siguen, pero sin prisas. No parecen estar preocupados.
- Y ya se van. Había adelantado el coche unos pocos metros, y eso les decidió.
Tiempo total: 1 minuto, 18 segundos. Suficiente; me alegró el dia.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
