Local Bears
Aug. 4/11 - problem bears

This years lack of spring and summer have forced many local bears down into the built up sections of the area where they have started to hunt for the wrong food - our garbage. These pics were taken on garbage day morning. Unfortunately, the sun was right in my camera's eye.



The bears work their way along the street, checking for really smelly items. This particular bear looks to be a year old, not a cub but not big yet. It's momma is around somewhere, we had to wait while walking the other day as she was crossing the street right in front of us.



Again, the sun was in our eyes to the camera picked up some weird coloring. I growled at the bear and that was enough to convince it to head for the forest. I guess my reputation of being a grumpy old guy has gotten around.



Our dog Willow wanted very much to go out and 'interview' this guy but we convinced her it was better to stay on the balcony and watch the excitement from there.
