Great set of shots Chuck. I hope you were using a looooong lens and staying safe around those creatures. That little guy is a great capture. Hop you are doing well.

Thank you very much Doc. As you can see, I went prepared 😁. For those whom I have never met, I am on the right.

Nice photos. Since they stopped allowing the hunting of black bear in Utah we have had an explosion in the bear population. Several years ago at a camp site in American Fork Canyon a bear dragged a young boy from his sleeping bag and killed him. The bear was tracked down and killed, of course. If I go into the back country I will be carrying a rifle. I'm getting too old to go wandering around anymore, however.
Thank you very much Bigmike1!

A friend hikes around there and has a little bell hanging off his backpack - I asked if that was a bear dinner bell...
We had police whistles 😬

A week ago I took my dog out for her last bathroom break before going to bed and walked around the corner and came within 15 feet of a large black bear. We saw each other at the same time and it turned and darted back in the wooded area. Boy was I glad. I now make noise and carry a light when I make those trips.
What? No camera at the ready?😂😂

Nicely composed images. We have a few black bears in La. but not like in other places. I have captured them on my trail camera, though.
Thank you very much kpmac!
