Best on black. Just before dinner last night, Jim noticed this bear right below our deck. I did what any photographer would do...ran for my camera! I'll probably post this in color in the next days but I liked the more artistic b and w version. This was barely or should I say "bearly" cropped. He was that close.
I was thrilled to see my sidelit poppy #3 on the TT this week. Thank you, thank you! And thanks as always for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
@fbailey@pamknowler I think this was an adolescent...kicked out of the den already. They tend to be the most unpredictable. I kept Pearl inside because I fear she might stand on her back legs and bark and then chase...I hope she’d leave out the latter but don’t know and will do my best not to find out
@golftragic they can be dangerous but this is a black bear and they usually flee if they see you. Mostly they are vegetarian though we’ve lost a cat to one who wasn’t. I fear what one chased by Pearl might do. They are very fast. Of course moms with cubs are dangerous. Adolescents tend to be unpredictable. We had to build a huge structure to protect our bird feeders and put electric fences around our fruit trees because they destroy trees when the take the fruit
@jgpittenger Oh golly whizz, that's all very interesting information thank you Jane. Must be a great place to live amongst nature like that. I've never seen a real bear, koala 'bears' aren't true bears.
Love it in b&w!
