August Yellowstone

[elksnout]

Some pictures from my fiirst time to Yellowstone. The young blackbear wanted to share the same trail we were hiking on. I had to say, hey bud ! so he would stop. I couldn't believe how fast he came at us on that log. When we first saw him he was tearing the heck out of a log with his front paws. They really could do some quick damage if needed. Very beautiful country for sure.

He's just brown enough to where I would have puckered at first glance...

First time in over 25 years my wife was speehless. That bear was on us in no time flat. That's why the picture is full frame. I kept trying to take pictures as he advanced but he kept filling the frame. I tried to post more pictures but I see they didn't load. Just the one.

Oh, and yes I did pucker at first because of color. Checked for the shoulder hump right away.

Wife speechless?  Anyone know where I can get a pet bear?
