Hey Bear!

We've a abundance of wildlife living out of town...we are 15 miles out of the town of Homer Alaska, in the mountains facing the Kachemak Bay near it's head, 180 degrees facing the mountains and glaciers across the bay from our windows...we have the most beautiful view, and as you can see this bear is one of many passing through...I watched him way below walking up the dirt road that belongs to the only neighbor below us, and had a feeling he would soon be passing through our place, and sure enough...he was big, at least bigger than the ones that have passed through lately, and just feet away from our windows...we have to take in our bird feeders every evening, and this was 5AM and I had just put all the feeders out on the "poop deck" as I call it ....it's such a small deck but the birds and squirrels give us great pleasure all year around...anyway, this bear sniffed the raised deck, and could have cared less....these days they've lots of luscious grass to feed on, and he meandered up the road. Neat, huh? Hugs.
