Bear in the backyard

This bear wandered through behind our house yesterday evening, while we were about to enjoy dinner with friends:

So great that nature & wild life can still be a presence in our life. You're blessed. Like the new blog design too.

I've seen that bear maybe half a dozen times since then....TWICE today! This evening he was across the street, skulking about in a stand of trees. When the coast was clear, he ambled down to the road, where my neighbor had placed his trash can for tomorrow's pickup. He had it opened in inside of 20 seconds, grabbed a bag, and dragged it back to the woods.
Sadly, a big reason they come by the neighborhood is because they smell the "good eats" in trash cans.
