Grizzly Bears in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

We had a very nice encounter with, not one, but two, grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park yesterday. We had stopped to photograph one bear in a great location with lightly falling snow. The bear took a nap and we waited as the snow started falling harder. The bear got up and foraged for a while, then a second bear started to approach from the other side of the small hill. After the two bears eyed each other and evaluated the situation, the first bear walked over to the second bear and started some courtship behavior. The two bears came back to where the first bear had been foraging, and when they lifted their heads up and looked in the same general direction, I captured my favorite image of the day.
