Morning Bear Encounter

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

This bear was lumbering along minding its own business while hoards of humans were following and watching it (from a distance, of course).

This was in Sequoia National Park. It's the first time that Gail and I have seen a bear in the wild. It was right outside the building where we stayed the night. I woke up and heard a kid yelling, "There's a bear!" outside our window. I looked out and there it was. Gail and I quickly ran outside to see it.
