Someones looking at me

This bear was in our neighbours cherry tree having a good old munch. I asked my little one what it was and he said a dog. Oh dear, I better not let him out of my sight. I couldn't chose between shots tonight so it's just lucky I have 3 albums!

Here are another couple of shots:

wow
that is a different view of the bear.
it reminds me of my days in bella coola with the bears so close.

@glendq Oh I had a nice long lens on and even then I cropped it in a bit.

[Kristin]

Wow - great shots, but a little scary. What kind of bear is that?

[Caren]

Wow, what a close up I saw you were at 150mm. Eek. A little to close for comfort, but such a awesome sight though.

[Lesley Chisholm]

@kph129 Kristin it was a black bear but just a young one. Maybe a yearling. @shortperson2002 Yes it was close but he was more interested in the tree full of cherries. We have a lot of bears around town this year so it easy to almost become a little complacent.

A big Wow, I would be scared with any lens! What a great shot!

[Janelle]

Wow, how exciting to have a bear in your backyard. Great shot. And I liked the others too

[Wendy]

Wow, Lesley! What a fantastic shot and capture! Love it, especially with the cherries in the tree! We kept hoping to see a bear on our trip, but no luck!

[R L Anderson]

I like this one best, a fave for me!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Wow!!!! What a surprise in the cherry tree!!

[Tina Mac]

I can't believe how many bear encounters you have! It's so scary, yet so exciting. Such a great capture.

[Tanya]
