Watch with Mother

This mother Grizzly Bear with twin cubs must have been replete with salmon as she seemed quite content to watch easy catches like this go skittering by. The cubs were quite happy just to watch while their mother did all the hard work but they were no doubt picking up tips for the future when their own survival might depend on catching salmon. This was taken on the Nekite River where there seemed to be an abundance of Chum Salmon this year. The title "Watch with Mother" which will be familiar to people of my era. It was broadcast from 1952 to 1975 and was an umbrella for children's programmes like Andy Pandy, the Woodentops, the Flower Pot Men, and latterly Tales from the Riverbank, which seems the most appropriate for this photo.
