Nature is the greatest gift and blessing!
Peek-a-bear: Cute cubs are snapped playing hide-and-seek and climbing trees in Finland

These three curious bear cubs proved overly eager to play up in front of the camera when they were photographed in a forest clearing in Suomussalmi, east-central Finland.
The bear cubs had gone on a tree-climbing mission with their mother when they spotted the nearby photographer's hut, and began playing peek-a-boo.
Eventually, the three young bears got a little too close for comfort for photographer and local school teacher Valtteri Mulkahainen.
Mr Mulkahainen said: 'I had to flick the cub's nose with my fingers to frighten it away as it was poking his nose in the hole in the wall intended for the camera lens.
'The bear mum was attentively watching everything that was happening around her cubs. If she feels there is any type of danger, she commands her cubs to get up on the trees.'

such sweetness. thank you for posting these pictures. it hurts my heart when I read of bears being killed just because they were trying to live. we have enroached on their homesteads. we must learn to live in harmony with nature and not destroy it, but revel in it.
