Opa and the Bear

Well here is another one from a few years ago. On a family trip to Banff National Park Melody's Opa came face to face with this cute little fella. Opa was so pleased to see this bear cub up close.
Well this weekend is a holiday weekend here in Alberta so after a long hard week at work I am looking forward to having three days off. Have a great weekend everyone
I wouldnt be smiling! He is probably scratching the car paint!

Who got out of the car to take the picture?? I don't think I would have had the guts. They got a good picture though. Enjoy your long weekend!

How cool

and WHO got out of the car to get the shot of this young bear!!! Lucky mama wasn't around! Is that a VW Bug?
August 4th, 2012  
Crazy shot!! Enjoy the weekend! Are you doing any travelling?
August 4th, 2012  
Somebody was pretty brave to get out of the car and take that picture. Usually when there's a cub, there's a mama, and they're pretty protective of their babies! lol I see I'm not the first person to notice this!

@kimshots I am not sure who took the picture and I am not sure if they got out of their vehicle or took it from the inside of theirs

What a fun catch. There have been a lot of bear sightings in the Greater Orlando area lately...so far they haven't hit our neighborhood but just to the west of us they are quite prolific. It certainly is nice to have photo memories like this! Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow, great capture. I've never seen a bear up close like that. That must have been an interesting experience.
August 4th, 2012

How cute! I wish we had bears in Indiana! I've heard Banff is lovely.

@deniseinindy Banff is a wonderful National Park. If you go back to my photo from June 14, 2011 you will see some of the Rocky Mountains
