Have you ever made eye-to-eye contact with a bear? I have. Or maybe this photo is more like eye-to-lens contact.
This bear visited my yard this morning. I think it’s Patches but somehow it looks smaller than that. Same patch of brown hair on her chest though. Not a big bear; more like a two or three year cub. To get these photos I went outside in the back yard and stood at the fence. The bear could have cared less. I just talked to her and every now and then she’d look up at me. What are you doing, lady? she seemed to say.
Who would have ever thought that I would grow to love having bears in my yard?
