Smoky Mountain Bear Sighting!!!

Yes, we saw a bear! A momma black bear and her three cubs. The bear was actually pretty close to us. Yikes!

All of a sudden a few cars stopped and people got out and started pointing. We knew exactly what was going on! Out of nowhere two rangers appeared.

I saw the cubs hoping through the woods, but couldn't get my camera out in time. Casey got some good shots with our digital SLR camera. Unfortunately, there was a lot of brush between us and the bear. Well, maybe it was fortunate. 😉

Momma bear did not acknowledge us. However, when she started coming closer, we split! One of the rangers looked panicked for a moment. By the time we got back to the car, the bear had moved off into the woods.

I got a video and you can see how close the bear was.

FindPenguins is great, but you can only put 10 photos in a post. So, I stuck a couple more scenery shots in here. Enjoy!Читать далее
