My Bear Story

A few weeks ago, I saw that the local newspaper (Albany Democrat Herald) was soliciting favorite outdoor stories and photos. I immediately thought of my bear encounter, so I paintakingly whittled my blog entry down to the requested 250 words. It appeared in Monday's Outdoor section.

They expertly cropped the photo to appear that I was much closer than I actually was! But it made me remember that I had never posted the whopping 18 seconds of video I took of the bears playing just before I snapped the photo that appeared in the paper. Here it is.


Words fail me to describe the awe and joy I felt to watch them romp around!


If you click the newspaper link below, you can see how much they improved my photo!
