They have had a black bear visit there bird feeders on a couple of occasions - probably the same bear. They tried to run it off and it climbed their elm tree and hung out until the crazy, yelling people went back into the house and went to bed. It ambled off sometime in the night. They await his next visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-9386170149234686172014-08-18T12:22:41.621-05:002014-08-18T12:22:41.621-05:00He certainly does look restful and unconcerned abo...He certainly does look restful and unconcerned about being photographed.

We are thankful you were successful in capturing this sighting. <br />Poor Far Guy - - - sure hope this doesn't get him down like last time. Did the oxygen situation get straightened out? There are enough companies that I hope you found one that was service oriented with compassion for the person needing the service.<br />George and/or Betsy Adams may be looking at your blog. They both do photography - - both are good. He is the better of the two and she will tell you that. I told them that you and your daughter get excellent pics, too and your blog is very interesting in telling of the culture/festivals/plants/history of the area - - - and that your dog writes some of the best stories of your lives!

We also have a camp in "no man's land' and every once in a while we see a bear out there. Nice to see them, but somehow I never have my camera with me.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629545146677854261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-82267777701501428972014-08-18T08:46:05.528-05:002014-08-18T08:46:05.528-05:00Hey - wasn't that kind of risky getting close ...Hey - wasn't that kind of risky getting close enough to photo that bear?
