A Walk with Bears

A friend and I went for a walk today on a popular river side trail. We were almost done when I spotted this mom and cub! Luckily, they were on the other side of the river!!

It’s amazing to me in the UK that you can see something as wonderful as that just whilst out walking. Fav

@30pics4jackiesdiamond They are black bears and relatively harmless. However, it was a mom and cub and you don't want to mess with a mom!! This is a very popular walking trail so I suspect they are accustomed to seeing lots of people.

@redy4et No bear spray. I'd probably spray myself!! Lol.
