A mother Grizzly Bear picked this nice fallen tree to climb up onto to have a nap at the edge of the tree line, where she could still keep an eye on her cubs that were feeding on the grass and beach below.

One of her cubs decided he would also like to have a nap, and this image captures when he climbed up onto the stump and checked out his mother (with a piece of grass still hanging from his mouth).  Shortly after checking it all out, he decided that this would be a perfect spot for him to also have a nap, and laid down beside his mother.
