Silent Black Bear

I was taking a quick breather whilst back country hiking in Yellowstone National Park when this black bear wandered into view. It got within 35 meters or so before it disappeared into the forest from whence it came. A unique and thrilling experience!

  It looked my way a couple of times, but if it noticed me it never showed it. These are the moments I live for! The whole reason I go into the wild so far, where nobody else goes, because of these truly wild, natural and real encounters with creation! Posted 11 years ago
