Sixteenth Thing: Random wildlife sightings – in particular, black bears. We were just winding our way home from dinner tonight, rounded a curve and TADA! A black bear was in the middle of the road. The opposing traffic (one car) had stopped as did we. Seeming startled, he ran off to the side, then back into the road, then back to the side when I snapped these photos (window down, safely inside the car). It doesn’t get much more thrilling than this for me!
Last year, our bear was very close to home, in fact, right below the deck where I stood taking this picture, trying not to drop the iPhone.
Wildlife sightings, in particular the awesome black bear, had to make the list of 59 Things. I just appreciate that I had a new sighting today.
ooh – pretty close in the picture of steps leading up to a cabin/house??
Yes. Those by the steps were from May 2014, (very close) but top 3 were from less than an hour ago.
I would absolutely love to have a sighting like that! Very exciting!
