I'm sitting in my chair by the window with my camera ~ watching four black squirrels raiding the bird feeders ...
Dang... that's a big squirrel ~~ zoom out a bit ...
Cheez Whiz and Peanut Butter on a Cracker!!!
I hate it when they sneak up on me.
It was a yearling bear cub ... around a 100 pounder. He was sneaking up the steps of the deck. I'm sure he was on his way in to check out the hummingbird feeders and the sunflower seeds that the black squirrels were snacking on. Those were the only two snapshots I got of him. I think I startled him as much as he startled me :) He took off on a full run for the woods.
Never a dull moment around here.
Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

Wow! That was a close encounter! We had a bear visit us a couple weeks ago. The bear did some damage. What I was most upset about, though, was that I didn't see the bear!
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to jump start the morning!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That would have made me jump for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood morning huh? I think I'll be happy just worrying about squirrels in the feeders.
ReplyDeleteAwww shucks, send that little sucker down here, we need some excitement, we are just watching the grass grow and Sherry's bone mend!!
ReplyDeleteThat is neat. You got some neat pictures of the squirrels though! Like the way they pose!
Just thinking of you and slim today as I made a note about Brandy. I have two pictures of that lab that come up quite regularly.
Love from down here in the Mts., where we used to see a lot of Black Bears! Not too many any more.
OMG!
ReplyDeleteThe whiz and whatever would NOT be on a cracker... it would be in my drawers! That's a little too up close and personal for me!
ReplyDeleteNow that was a really exciting morning!
ReplyDeleteWow, Mel! What a fantastic encounter with the black bear. We have a few over near our cabin in the Cherokee Forest.

ReplyDeleteYou can put the blame on Sam cause didn't he just get done saying, " haven't seen any bear around here, ... yet!" Well, there ya have it.
ReplyDeleteNice ear shot.

Never a dull moment indeed. That bear would have knocked the wind out of my sail, I can tell you that. Lucky for you, it wasn't his momma or poppa. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - the first bear one looks like an alien with sun glasses on. lol
ReplyDelete'love & hugs from afar'
What a surprise at your own porch. I have seen some close by but not on the homestead grounds yet. The wildlife likes your home for sure. Blessings!
