These Two Bears

I spotted these two bears wandering through the woods this afternoon.  I followed them (im)patiently with just a few snaps, knowing I'd get full-body shots when they'd pop out onto the road to cross it ahead of me.  The first one was a smaller bear--a yearling--the second one, it's mother.  They stayed a distance apart from each other so I couldn't get them in the same frame.  It was almost hard to tell them apart in the woods, but once I compared 'road' shots, I can clearly see the difference in the shape, length and weight of their bodies.  After crossing, the younger one tore apart a fallen log searching for grubs while it's mother sat down to keep a close watch on both of us.
