Bear of a Day

Yesterday my sister and I were at Cades Cove and we had a great time, saw several deer and for the first time in 30 years saw one of these magnificant animal, I wish you could have seen us on the bank where he was at trying to get the pictures, am not one for being able to hold my camera steady with ease and needless to say this was one of those time but wanted to share this with you.

Thanks for looking...

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I hope that was a very long lens you used. I think I would have been going the other way...

WOW!! Lucky you two!! Beautiful creature!!
Some folks say there ain't no bears in Arkansas
Some folks never seen a bear at all
Some folks say that bears go around eating babies raw
Some folks got a bear across the hall

Some folks say that bears go around smelling bad
Others say that a bear is honey sweet
Some folks say this bear's the best I ever had

Some folks got a bear beneath their feet

Some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness
Some to see a bear would pay a fee
Me, I just bear up to my bewildered best
And some folks even see the bear in me

So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you
And even though your friends may stop and stare
Just remember that's a bear there in the bunch with you
And they just don't come no better than a bear

While the bear is a little dark (under the circumstances I understand), the pictures are good.

Ashton, I like the lyrics. Honestly cannot remember which lens I used, believe it was the 70-300 (and if not it was 28-135)--I was about 30 yds from the bear and my sister got even closer, about 20 yds from the bear.
