The Bears

Last night I finally got to see the neighborhood bears.

Last night I finally got to see the neighborhood bear. For the last few weeks someone had been the eating the apples off my two red delicious trees. I wasn't worried since I've got far more apples than I could ever eat, and all the bear scat wasn't an issue either. But I did want to capture the bear on film. Last night I went out and noticed a big black shape under the tree - just sitting around. So I went inside, got the old camera and clicked off a few before it got tired of my flash. Living on the edge of town has it's advantages, even though some might consider a friendly neighborhood bear a nuisance or even a menace. Well as long as it sticks with the apples and doesn't take an interest in my kitchen, I don't see what the big deal could be. Sure, bears can wreck your garbage can, and sure, they are omnivorous at times, but I think we can live with them easily enough.
