Love that shot Bob. I used to be afraid of bears until I moved here, and even though we have a lot of bears that wander all over the place I have not heard of a single person being hurt by them. I know it can happen when there is a rogue bear. When they cause a problem here it is usually because people leave their garbage available to them.
Any of you watch Lily The Black Bear live web cam? I started watching it a couple of years ago and it has been quite a learning experience.
This photo was taken by my sister about 20 feet from her patio door. That cub is so cute.
