I had seen this one b4.... but for some reason had failed to comment.... I love the expression on the childs face..... :-)
The falling rain adds an almost melancholy feel to the pic.... the 3rd face licking the rock behind Momma bear adds to the family portrait.

Rahul,
I love to see animals in rain. I was photographing a sloth bear in rain, when this mom came with her kids. Light was very low. It was a nice moment. I am happy to have seen it and photography was a bonus.

Hi Sabyasachi

It always heart touched feeling when we come across some unexpected occurrence in the wild and most of the time we never or say can't forget it. I believe to experience some wonderful wildlife moments one needs to be very lucky and you are... best wishes for many more lovely moments
