Great shot - hope you kept a safe distance

@virtualbrownie There was a fence between me and it. But in the past I have been within 20 feet of a bear in the wild. Not where you want to be.

Gorgeous!!

[Mike McCarty]

@tabbycat They are impressive animals.

[Tabbycat]

@mcrt Yes, I was hoping to see one in Oregon or in Canada, but alas. Oh wll, I will have to go back!

[Mike McCarty]

@tabbycat Much easier to see them in Alaska.

[Tabbycat]

Now THAT'S a place on my ever-expanding bucket list!

[Mike McCarty]

@tabbycat That is a challenge with bucket lists. They do tend to keep growing. I looked at your profile a little closer and saw that you are a bicycling gypsy. You should check out @leananiemand She hopped on her bike 7 years ago.

@mcrt Coo-ool!! Thanks for the tip! I love her already! :-)
