A Black Bear Up the Driveway

I took a yardstick out side to measure that bamboo looking thing, and it was 3 feet two inches. So that gives you an idea of how tall this bear is. Note the scar on its shoulder.

This driveway is 80 yards long, so the bear is not far from the front porch. The camera recorded this photo at 9 :30 in the morning, between the time I left for my morning hike and when I returned at 10:05.

Smart, healthy bear!
