I went for a long drive in the country last weekend.
I was going to get an old wheelbarrow I saw in an ad.
Beautiful day.
Loved seeing all of nature on the way.
Beautiful flowers...
Such an enjoyable and peaceful time.
I stopped to look at something, and much to my surprise,
they was a bear along side the road!
It was about 5' tall! Big brown bear up on it's hind legs!
I have never seen one so close.
It was about 6' from my car.
Well of course I had my camera with me. I take it with me everywhere I go.
I sat and debated for a minute. Did I dare get out of the car to take a closer look?
To get a great picture?
The bear did not seem to be at all alarmed,
or even caring I was there.
So I decided to do it.
To get out.
To risk it all to get this great shot.
I walked up within 4' of the bear.
I kind of came up by it's side.
and then it happened!
I got it!
The best shot ever of a close up of a bear!
Then I walked around right in front of him.
And here he is.
A bear holding a mailbox.
And that is my outdoor Wednesday adventure today.

Too cute Barbara Jean! I cracked up when I finally saw the bear!
I was actually thinking 'she's totally crazy!" So glad it was just a carved animal! ♥♫
There is nothing like a wonderful little walk outside - does so much good for the soul. Loved the pictures! That bear looks pretty harmless!
