We had all the kids go inside and Chris stayed out,taking pictures, because he lives life on the edge I guess. So he took that picture with our normal lens because he was standing only about 20 feet from that bear. Then he did a little HDR treatment to the picture which makes the colors look a bit richer. Black bears can be black or brown or any shade inbetween, they are just called black bears because of someones lack of imagination I guess.

The kids were small at the time. We let them take turns rowing sometimes and they would row the boat in circles and we would go nowhere. Those were good times. <br/><br/>The bear looks rather orangy-brown with the sun shining on him. I take it you took that shot with a zoom lens? How far was the hike up the mountain? We went on the big 7-mile glacier hike when we were there. Actually, hubby had us do all the hikes and I thought I was going to die from soreness. I lost 12 pounds in the two weeks we were there and was already thin at the time. Now I would not be able to get my pudgy middle-aged self through a half-mile in the mountains. danica, we went rowing on a boat there on the lake in Waterton. The kids were small at the time.

That lil guy was totally lost down in the town and causing all kinds of grief to the Waterton Lakes National park service people. Waterton just happens to be on the Canadian side of Glacier National Park. That is a black bear, they are smaller and less agressive than grizzly bears.

Is that a grizzly? The closest we ever came to a grizzly encounter was when we were camping at the Rising Sun campground and the ranger came around to each campsite to warn everyone that a couple of grizzlies were sited at a garbage dumpster on the campgrounds and to use caution when going to the restrooms, and not to leave food in our tents, etc. I did come face to face with a Bighorn sheep, though. Scared the shit out of me. I was walking through a parking lot, and one waltzed out from behind an SUV and was right nose to nose with me! I did muster up the courage to take a quick pic before running like the wind! Great pics! Is that a grizzly?
