Very cool pics. Lovely pictures. Do you carry your bow to fend off bears? GORGEOUS photos, absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing! Is that a brown bear paw-print? Do you ever see bears on your hikes? Unfortunately I know that if I'd gone along that path with one square inch of bare skin I'd have been devoured alive by the mosquitoes... they really seem to love my blood whenever I am within biting distance.

Hope you took the cute choc lab along for the walk!

We see bears, usually from a distance because we make so much noise. I only surprised one once, a small black bear, and he scampered up a tree like a large squirrel. They don't usually want to have anything to do with you, so if you can keep from surprising them, you're probably okay.
