Hubby and I were talking about some of the amazing things we have seen and what are favorite things were. So here are some things that I have gotten to see in my life that most people will never get to see. Thought it would be a fun post for everyone to add shot's of odd and unique things you have seen in your life that most people will never get to see.

1. Bear claw marks on an aspen tree as it climbed the tree
2. Albino black bear, saw him not to far from our house
3. Eagle that has a bite taken out of his wing from a good size Northern Pike it tried to eat.
4. Me holding a 1 month old tiger cub. There was a company here called Wild Eyes that raised and trained tigers for movie rolls. I was able to raise 2 cubs from birth to 8 months old....so much FUN!
5. Watched this avalanche from start to finish, heard the boom...almost like thunder, then saw the snow start to slide....was an amazing thing to witness.
6. Watched this helicopter come to the Thompson river, fill up the bucket and then fly over the forest fire and drop it
7. A glacier from above.....with 2 bears walking on the edge....you have to enlarge it to see the bears. But the texture and pattern of the glacier is amazing.
8. Deer tangled with a rope and lost!
9. Black bears in cottonwood tree...this momma bear hibernated in the hole in the tree just above where you see the cubs. We watched her for 4 years in a row with various cubs...was something very special to be able to witness, this den was about 70 feet up in that tree!
10. Met Buddy the friendly buck. This guy got into our hay shed when he was a fawn and was very friendly from the start. He hung around for a couple of years, he ran the neighborhood but would only let my hubby and I close enough to pet him.

Enjoy and post some of yours!

What a pleasing bunch of photos. I love the mix of documentation to very artistic captures. As a youngster I somehow managed to hook a 42" Musky, fishing in northern Wisconsin. It got stuffed, and hangs on my wall. Thats a mouthful of really sharp teeth.
