HARD TO BELIEVE


...but it is Black Bear season right now. Opening day was Monday. So there are hunters in the bush hiding and waiting for an unsuspecting black bear to wander by so they can shoot it. There are still tourists around here. They could have waited until September when the majority of the tourists are gone. I guess I have to dig out my blaze orange stuff to go for a walk on the trails. I haven't seen any around lately - the berries are fabulous so they are feeding on them and leaving the garbage and people alone.
So be warned if you come up that hunting season has begun...

Also the leaves are starting to turn already. It is the middle of August and that's when it happens. There are some bushes that are red and the ferns are starting to brown. Won't be long now...

Wikpedia!! I have been fortunate never to have been that close to a bear that big - except in a car.
