A great title for a great capture. Animals convey so many of the feelings that humans have. This bear seems to be really enjoying the feel of those pine needles on the back.
Good eye for seeing this scene.

Hello There,iPhone can you hear me now. ha ha opps sorry ever get that 1. :-)
yes I AGREEE as many animals like me and just the looks of these 3 that morning tells that 1,000 word thing ?.
True years of needles are a softer bed but if they cleaned it up they would have to WASH the ANIMALS daily I Dont think they would like That.
Thank you as I started to try to catch things with my camera years ago.
Thank you for your kind review and what your thoughts might be.

Shore1, This is a fine shot of this barely awake bear, talking about laying down on the job, someone inform this cub to get with the program and act like a bear. Very nice presentation Shore1. Ray

Good shot here of this bear at the zoo. He does look very content in this shot. Good natural colours and exposure. Good focus, texture and clarity. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Reclam the BAY.
Thank You for viewing and Make Me think and express it a lil more.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that snuggling bear. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

A cute photograph of the bear, in an endearing pose. Its a shame you couldn't get a shot without the bars, but I know that can be difficult.

Comment from supergold
what a pity to see such a wonderful animal behind bars; at least a cage free zoo would be better, but you cannot change anything;
an excellent capture in a funny pose;

What a cute pose from a bear! He does look very comfortable. I like that you were able to get his entire head and face in the scene along with the relaxed position of his front leg.
