A little too close for comfort...

Black Bear Spotted Beneath Lake Louise Lift - September 11, 2011 I was riding a chair on the Lake Louise Chair/Gondola Lift on a beautiful, sunny afternoon when everyone passing down the slope warned me to watch for the bear. Well, I did get to watch him/her munching as I passed both ways. And so did both of the wedding parties going up the mountain that same time period although I don't think at least one of the flower girls appreciated the uninvited guest! More on my wonderful trip to come!

I'm jealous.

Every time I'm that close to a bear, my camera is in my pack!

Re: I'm jealous.

Pure luck Bob! And it was the only bear we saw the whole week in Banff area.

Just a saying ..

I've always heard that black bears eat blackberries, cinnamon bears eat salmon berries, and blond bears eat ...

at a high-class establishment down the street !

Extraordinary moment, Kathy!

Love the saying Larry! I was excited but also glad the bear was a good 20 feet below me....

Re: Just a saying ..

A black bear's lack of fear where humans are concerned can be a bit disconcerting at times!

BTW, great photo!

Re: Just a saying ..

Thanks Tim. I was bit concerned since we had just sat through a video about the electric fence that should keep bears out!
