! Roar !

Description


This Is The Continuation From
YESTERDAY'S IMAGE
Where This Poor Bear Was minding His Own Business
AND AN IGNORANT TOURIST STARTED YELLING AT HIM!

At First The Bear Backed Away
AND THEN CHANGED HIS MIND AND CHARGED THE FENCE.

He ROARED and Retracted to the woods again as
I backed down the hill slowly to our car.

(Full Story Is On Yesterdays Thread If You Read Down)...

It never fails - When you are out with wildlife enjoying the moment some clown will come by and do something stupid. Terrific capture and treatment - Glad that the bear did not come through the fence! Jeff #8392343

WOW Laura, what a difference a split second makes, from calm bear to charge bear yet you captured the two moods of the bear perfectly! The awesome power that he has is shown here. Pretty scary! A very dramatic scene! Beautiful color, and effects Laura!!! Laura:) #8393274

Hi everyone! I try not to be a scardy-cat, Brett! I knew it was time to get out of there, however!

I feel the way all of you do and thank you for all you said about the bear, the situation, the image and the treatment!

:)

Great capture and treatment here. Indeed, bears can be quite unpredictable. Wise on your part to back away. Saw black bears just on the side of the road in NB, and no, it wasn't a good idea to stop (there was no fence :-). #8393547

Stephen Zacker February 19, 2010

That is just a little scary. Great capture of him #8393566
