Window into Bear Country...

I was so stoked to get decent bear pictures last night! This is my first bear sighting of 2008, and luckily this big guy was quite photogenic. He was quite a beauty, too, and looked quite healthy. The dumpster I don't think contained food. The bear wasn't rooting around in it; I think he was just hiding until the coast was clear. As soon as I left, he hopped out and went on his way.

Those are great pictures!

We saw a mamma bear with cubs when we were in Pennsylvania. There were a number of people around and they were venturing a lot closer than I would go to try to take photos.
