This morning we heard that a mama bear and her two cubs were up a tree above the bike path, just a short walk from our office. We could just see her through the branches but couldn’t make out where the cubs were nesting in the tree. After work I took a bike ride hoping to get better pictures from the bike path, but even though she was 20 feet up, once she turned her head and looked down at me the distance was too close for comfort. I didn’t want to be the catglass-wearing rube from a Far Side cartoon!

The traffic noise is pretty loud as the main 2-lane highway is just below her. Hoping she is just waiting for all the din and activity to die down before moving her cubs to a better locale…
