OK. Very cute and snuggly.
And scary.

Yeah, they're cute ... from a safe distance. :)

What a beautiful back yard. Could do without the live "feature".

Rev. Paul said...

The picture doesn't show most of the 10-acre back yard. It's huge; bears not included. They just come around for the heck of it. :)

Not good, when they are coming that close, it's DEFINITELY not good!

Rev. Paul said...

Quite true, sir. It's uncomfortable, at best.

That "live feature" is a regular occurance in PA. A solitary bear, such as this one, usually poses no problem. I worry only when there are cubs involved. Mama bears can be hyper protective/agressive.

I should say that the above applies to BLACK BEARS. A grizzly or a brown would scare the sh*t out of me whether it was alone or with cubs in tow...especially with cubs in tow!

Rev. Paul said...

joated, your black bears are bigger than ours, and you're right. Any of them at all demand respect and plenty of distance.

Looks like that bear is saying " Oh Hi there just passing through"

Rev. Paul said...

In this case, Corey, you're exactly right. Thank goodness.
