Bear Butts

Two cubs visited us yesterday. Very playful animals, they are. Our garage must smell wonderful because they were sniffing around. We were delightfully surprised to greet them when we tried to enter our garage.
The night before it had snowed, so I can only guess that they are looking for food before curling up in their den for the winter. It’s a lot colder this year than last, early in the season than expected. Of course, with as dry and sunny as it is here, the snow never lasts for long.
Unlike the squirrel that posed for me in the park last week, the bears wouldn’t cooperate. I snuck a shot of one of them peeping around the corner of our house. Not wanting to enrage mama bear, I didn’t venture out too far.
Our neighbor called us later in the evening – the dogs across the street found the cubs to be wonderful playmates until said dogs treed said cubs, and Mama came a-callin’. Too bad we were out; that would have been fun to watch!
