My Bear

Some of you may remember that I have a bear (actually, I think there's more than one) that visits my yard from time to time. Last night I finally got a picture. I know it's not the best quality. Problem is, if I use the flash, it just gets reflected in the window. So I had to wait for him to wander into the glow of the motion lights on the garage.

Heeeere's Yogi!

Yes, thats called backlighting. Well done Rob! What did you have for dinner? He must smell something mighty good in the air.

That's just so cool. (As long as you stay at a safe distance, Robbie.) I'd love to see a bear that close! They're such beautiful creatures! Thanks for sharing it!

What an adorable pet you have, Rob.

I wonder what you would do if he came knocking.

YA, Rob is the bear paparazzi. He looks like he's having a private moment. You might be careful Rob.

Actually, he did knock last night. When I'm at the computer, my back is about two feet from the window I took that picture from. Only a few minutes after I snapped it, I heard a clunk right behind me. Yogi was trying to pull down a bird feeder hanging just outside the window.

Oh my, be careful Rob!

Oh Cool i was Hoping to see a Real Bear this Summer but i am not having any luck.

How could you Bear it when he was Knocking?

If you want to Get Close up Daytime shots put out some bacon and Honey might do the trick

So when Rob doesn't show up here we will know he is stuck in a tree with Yogi waiting below.

Unreal!! I just can't even imagine having a bear in my backyard! He looks like a pretty big guy too.

I was diying to know your "little " bear, Rob. It looks even friendly. But be careful and keep a safe distance.

'Fraid he'll have to settle for sunflower seeds and peanuts, same as the birds and squirrels.

Alex, he's pretty good-sized. There's one bird feeder on a tree that's about six feet off the ground, and he's big enough to be able to stand up and stick his nose in it.

Sounds interesting...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! He's ADORABLE!

Rob, just make sure you don't smell like fried food. There was a story on the 11 o'clock news last night about a hunter that was attacked apparently because he smelled of fried food. I fell asleep for the actual story, but that seemed to be the gist of the story from the preview.

Yeah, Lori, that was in Emmet County, near the tip of the mitt. He was bow-hunting for deer, and a bear actually climbed up into his treestand to get him! He's okay, though.
