A cub hanging out in our dogwood tree while momma waited.

Nice to see that bear so relaxed. Just got in from a short jog and saw some friends down the alley so we were focused on smiling at them. They told us a bear saw us coming and climbed up a tree. Then down he/she came and was in a position like that bear, enjoying some apples. I love bears!

Just a simple question, could the bear also be performing a simple act of thermoregulation called "splooting?"🤔

Love to see this bear enjoying life. I envy him.

Oh, my word! It looks like a pool, but perhaps it isn’t!
