Mother and cub: “The young cub has grown since I took this photo, it has been an amazing experience to document the life of this bear”

“I have watched this bear since she was a young cub and throughout the years, she has faced hardships, including being hit by a car. My wife and I were hiking through the forest one night this spring and were delighted to find one of our favourite bears now is a first-time mom. The young cub has grown since I took this photo, it has been an amazing experience to document the life of this bear.” Photo by Tony Joyce, Port Moody, B.C.
