2019-08-30_12.26.31_BlackBearEatingBerries.jpg
Trees are cleared to cut a road through the mountains.  Bushes tend to grow along the edges, free from the shade of the trees.  So, we find a black bear wandering along the edge of the road, eating berries from the bushes.  We pulled over at the end of a long line of parked cars to see what everyone was looking at.  The bear wandered along, eating berries, past all of the cars, and we each got our turn to take closeup pics and video.  Very accommodating!
