Description
This image could use a few more bracketed frames but while capturing the first three shots I heard some crashing and looked up to see a Black Bear moving towards me. We both froze for a moment – actually I froze and the Bear stopped to sniff the air. When I started to straighten the Bear ran back into the trees but I could see him on a log looking my way - he was probably heading for the creek and wanted me to move. I wasn’t going to make him ask twice - time to pack-up and move on!
Woods near Wawona.
Thanks for stopping and viewing and thanks for your previous comments!

Wise move getting out of there - a picture may be worth a thousand words, but it's not worth getting mauled by a bear. Nice forest scene, & I especially like the sun peeking through the branches & casting those long shadows...
a magical place indeed! :) beautiful picture
Fantastic photo and fascinating story
Marvelous capture my friend !!!
Super! Fantastic Forest!!
Wonderful place and excellent shot with the sun behind the trees! Splendid image!
Very nice capture. I like the lighting very much. It was a good descision from you to leave the place.
Ohhhhhh......This is a magnificent capture, the lighting is just perfect! Marvelous work!
superb
Great light to get a bear hug! Bet you thought twice about taking his picture in that moment of hesitation!
Yep thought did cross my mind – but would have been foolish except with a 500mm lens and a lot more distance :)
Fantastic back light shot. Wonderful colors and shadow game.
A spectacular view through the trees. Watch out for those bears out there!!!
