This one was a little too close for comfort, but I shot him while standing in the door of my car....I figured he could out-run me, but I could out-drive him!

    I like number one the best. He looks like a big Black Bear.

    Good for you, Neil! We have Black bear here too, but I have yet to get a photo. I like your strategy of standing in the car door! Best, Pam

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very cool. Bears are a great subject to shoot. I have yet to run across one of these in the wild. Then again I'm sure I might stop breathing for a few seconds. *-) Nice set here.
