Brilliant! We came across some black bears like these in Alaska, and you can't imagine how excited I was. So it's cool to see that normal people can see them around home and get some great captures too.
He looks kind of forlorn in among all those man-made things.
Not that he is, he's probably there for a reason (a good one in his mind, I am sure), but ... somehow black bears don't REALLY belong between rails and train cars, don't you think?
But what a thrilling experience!
Wow.
You were not afraid?
