Image taken on May 27, 2015.
I've photographed this Black Bear (Ursus americanus) sow and her three yearling cubs many times this year in Yellowstone National Park. In this image, the sow and one cub are waiting patiently for John Kerr, the bear-whisperer and ranger extraordinaire, to make a space in the wall of paparazzi so they could cross the road. Less than a minute after I made this image, John had everyone move away from the bears' likely path and the bears crossed the road and went on their way.
