My Outdoor Adventure

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...

Ducks in a pond...
Such an enjoyable and peaceful time.

When I got to the long road out in the country where the wheelbarrow was,
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.Isn't he the cutest mailbox holder you have ever seen?

And that is my outdoor Wednesday adventure today.
