Bearly Breathing

Crimanee... Friday Night, hubby gone down the mountain to play poker, so my plan is to quilt the night away, but NOOOO nature has another plan.... to scare me breathless. I'm fine now but while I was quilting in my sewing room, for the 2nd time in a month, a young black bear decided he'd join me if he could remove the screen. Thankfully, he gave up quickly this time and instead managed to get on our roof and stomp around a bit... then climbed down to go to the trash can (EMPTY) so I think he's gone. You never saw a woman run to the screen door and dead-lock the real door faster. I didn't photograph this event.... this is just a young male black bear photo. ' Always a thrill living IN the forest.
