Been a Bear lately

Apologies to all for not commenting recently. I have been a rather like this guy so few days, not sure why but there you have it.

This noble creature is a 3 year old at Bearizona, a drive thru wildlife park in Williams Arizona. My husband drove while I take shots through the 'up and locked' the car window.

I needed the perspective to snap out of my mood. So here's to better days.

hey, enjoy life. You could go around singing the bear necessities and scratching your back on tree trunks (I'm sure there's some healing something to be gained by rubbing up against a tree)

[PTP: Past their Prime]

agree with @francoise. relaxing is an art form which needs to be practised ... often

[Suse♡]

Awww adorable shot. Here´s to better days which I´m sure will come soon :)

[Walks @ 7]

@francoise You may be right on that. Roll with it needs to be my motto.

[Walks @ 7]

@pasttheirprime @susale Thank you, I am totally in @francoise boat but, please don't ask me to sing. (it wouldn't be pretty)

[Stephanie]

Wishing you lots of better days @joysabin

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Great capture. Hoping better days are on their way.

@stephanies @ziggy77 Thank you very much, this bear snapped me out of my 'funk'. So glad that my husband drove me through the park.

Beautiful portrait.

@ccenecua you, I was lucky that my husband drove us there and then I just started to snap snap and also step out of my bear mood.

What a wonderful photo. He looks like he's daydreaming.. Good luck with your mood. This too shall pass..

[Walks @ 7]

@jeffinvt Thank you so much, this bear had just dunked himself under the water and then came up to rest his chin on the edge as we drove by and I just snapped.

[Debbie]

Aww.... poor little bear. He looks so sad.

[Dave59]

100 more to go! Hope that's a milestone, not a mill-stone:)

[Walks @ 7]

@deborah63 This gut had just jumped in the water and shook. He does look a bit forlorn.
@sketch2 Just keep on shooting and buying more lens to play around with.

@joysabin More gear is always good

I love the drive through bear parks - we were at one in South Dakota the Bears were all such fun to watch.

A little time spent with nature and the camera is always a boost to the soul IMHO! Glad it worked for you!

[Walks @ 7]

@amandalockie I forget how we humans are so separated from the real world. Although I am glad that I don't run into anything larger than a squirrel on my walks.

[Walks @ 7]

@shesnapped I walk all the time but am still need to get out of the city to truly see nature. I am working on rehabbing my knee but getting stronger all the time.

[Ashley]

Yeah, that takes time. Nature is the best place to rehab when you get the chance!
