It seems all that a bear needs is one good tree to shimmy up if he feels the need. I think this is a youngish black bear who I found up in a tree this morning midway down the hill from my house, probably 20 feet up. I had the advantage of being uphill and not too far away, but please know that I was in a completely safe position with a little barn a few feet away. I would never stick around and try to photograph a bear without complete access to safety!
If anyone has feelings about the age, I am very interested to know what they think. I did see a small cub and mother back in the beginning of June. This bear does not seem to have any adult around him.
I hope all are well and enjoying the summer's end. Thank you for any comments and taking the time to stop by!
An old image I had previously overlooked.
I really need to sort out my photo files.
I spent most of my day here.
In bed, making cute things to post to mark.
Oh yes. it's been a lovely day.

Brown bears are considered adults at the age between 3-5 years. They are usually chased away by the mother around age 3. These are young bears that seek comfort with each other after they are no longer welcome by their mother. There is comfort in numbers.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.

Sara Teddy Bear is part of the Treasured Teddies collection produced in 1991. The complete collection was given to me many years ago. The collection will eventually go to an animal charity. Until I get around to donating them they will come in handy for a photo or two.

I travelled to Kananaskis Country - a wilderness and recreational area west of Calgary, Canada - one cold, wet May morning, looking for bears. I knew that the weather would keep visitors and traffic to a minimum. I was fortunate to encounter this young bear, wet in the rain.
I can't state with certainty what type of bear this is, an immature black bear or a young grizzly. I suspect the former, as I can't see a hump, as the ears are not too short and as the face is elongated. But I'm not absolutely sure. Does it matter?

26 year old female polar bear (Ursus maritimus) "Chinook", the oldest of three polar bears that live at the San Diego Zoo's Polar Bear Plunge. Chinook also came to San Diego in May 1996 as a one year old orphan. Conservation status: Vulnerable
This photo was taken in early May of 2021. At the time, I was still recovering from Covid and very weak. We decided to take a drive down to Denali National Park to see what we would find. Unfortunately, we went down on a weekend and the park was full of cars. There was a traffic jam of about 20 cars parked all over the road and most people were out of their cars chasing this poor bear. (Why anyone would want to chase a bear with a camera is beyond me) We drove past the traffic jam, took us about 10 minutes to pass the mess. We decided to park about a quarter mile past the crowd and just sit and watch the show. The bear was out of sight where we were sitting but the actions of the crowd showed us he was heading our way. Thankfully, most gave up and went back to their cars, a few were still running along the road. Sure enough, the bear emerged to our left and we took a few shots of it and decided to take off before the crowd caught up with us.
I may be old and cranky, but it seems like people check common sense in their butts when they see wildlife, especially bears and moose.
A Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) can regularly be observed on the mud flats when the tide is low because it is the easiest route of travel for them as they roam in search of mates or food along the beaches of the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Reserve on the west coast of British Columbia about 30 minutes flight northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

Bear Butte is in the background. There were periods of intermittent light fog over the mountain during the day.
First created in 1985, Sylvanian Families is a unique and adorable range of distinctive animal characters that live, work and play in the idyllic land of Sylvania...... These little Bears were played with by our children forty years ago.... and again now by our Grandchildren......

Georgina on the right tries to convince a larger male that the fishing area is hers. She puts up a good front, gets a bite or two in then, inevitably she would get a back of the paw swat. We did notice during most bear disputes they did not use claws to intentionally injure each other.
Shot this black bear later in the day and had that sunset looking appearance. Looks a bit brownish...Glad it stayed put...
This beautiful brown bear, known in these parts as “Blonde Mom” is shown here with one of her two spring cubs! And what a protective mom she is!

A grizzly bear sitting in the water, shakes off water with flying water droplets. I'm not sure how effective it is try to shake off water when actually sitting in the water 😀. The bright turquoise water surrounding the bear is unaltered and unenhanced from the original file. Chilko River, BC.

Good news from Ursina, the mom, and her two cubs, only one on the photo: Flocon, at Juraparc, Mont d'Orzeires, Vallorbe, Switzerland
The bear just kept loafing my way, until getting about 50 yards from me -- when I started making some noise to scare it away.
Moments before taking this shot I yelled something like, "Hey, you there! Why not go another way, please?" Or maybe I just blubbered, I can't remember...

The brown sugar is Swerve. I have used it for a very long time. www.lowcarbcanada.ca/products/swerve-all-natural-sweetene... The little bear in the brown sugar is made from fired clay. You leave it in water then put in the brown sugar and it keeps it from clumping. It can be used for a lot of other things too. This is available on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Brown-Sugar-Bear-Original-Terracotta/dp/B0...
This grizzly bear picture was taken at the Akron Zoo's Animal Enrichment day the card box was originally in the shape of an Easter basket and the keepers must have spread some scents on it because the bear was rolling around with it for quite some time.
I know it's a sheep and not a bear , but we went to a great gig last night in Bristol, seeing Sea Power , a favourite band. One of Sue's favourite songs was Bear , and I had it as her ring tone so the opening riff reminds me of her texting or calling me. It was a great gig of largely more laidback songs including scores they did for the award winning Game Disco Elysium, so there were lots of younger fans there in costume. It was great for me to go with my three daughters, all in all a wonderful night. So Bear by Sea Power is the title of this beautiful sunrise.
And so another bear season starts. We have mom (the cubs are up the tree) making sure i do not harass the youngins.

Lucky Bear just loves to dress up as a Ladybug just so she can hang with the rest of the Ladybugs.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HLCoF
Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctic horribilis) patrolling the shores and uplands of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary in the Khutzeymateen Inlet along the west coast north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.
The inlet is about a 30 minute flight by float plane, north of Prince Rupert. The tour of 6 wildlife photographers (including myself) was 5 days long and run by Ocean Light II Adventures. We stayed at the entrance of the reserve in a 72 ft sail boat (Ocean Light II) and accessed the reserve daily in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity.
