SofaKingWeird, 3 months ago

Awesome, a little too close for me. I’ve seen what bears can do to a car door at Yosemite.

George Lenz, 3 months ago

that’s a scary one… how close were you… he must not have seen you… nice shot though…

Lucindawind in reply to George Lenz’s comment, 3 months ago

hi George ..no I dont think he did see us ..he just kept walking on his way looking for something ..not human hopefully hehe..I think that they see cars stopping at times on the road and if no one bothers them ..they dont bother them … no cubs were with him or her so that was a plus .. I was probably 20 feet about ..thanks for looking

I am glad Australia doesn’t have Bears. I think our crocidiles ate them all LOL. Bears or Crocs it is wise to keep our distance. Nice photo Lucinda. Cheers!

No wonder this was featured, it’s gorgeous! What a powerful and magnificent animal they are and you have captured that very well with this shot. I hope you had a lot of zoom going on because you look a little too close for comfort! Sort of a close encounter of the bear kind…LOL
