a meeting on the trail

While I have had many encounters with bruins, both the black and grizzly kind, it seems that I seldom manage to get any pictures, but this time I actually remembered to take out the camera and snap a few pictures. The bear was standing in the shade and I was in the bright sun so the pictures did not turn out that well, and when it spotted me it bolted down the hill. A chance encounter like that makes a hike in the mountains all that much more enjoyable.

Nice pictures!

Never seen one up close in the wild. Saw one along side of the road on the way to school once. The bus driver had no inclination to stop. We also had one down town on our "main" street about 6 years ago. He stayed in town about an hour before wandering off.

Cool. I think I woulda had a heart attack after meeting up with him though. Plenty of black bears around here but I've been fortunate to have not seen any. ( Knock on wood!!!) LOL
