While I was out taking photos, someone drove by and told me there was a bear up the hill, so I hiked up there (all alone) to get some pics ( stupid I know!!!)

A very fine set of photos you are showing here. My favourites are Nr. 1, 2 and 5. Luckily the bear does not look very threatening ;-).

What a really nice set. At 250mm that bear looks waaayyy too close but you got a great shot. :thumbup: :thumbup:

NIce set! I like them all.

[jude01]

thanks guys!

Very cool set. I think I like them all. Not sure you'd get me hiking up a hill alone to see a wild bear. I'd take Iggy with me ... that way I don't have to outrun the bear ... and I reckon I can outrun Iggy ;)

I agree. I think I would want to use HBG's 600mm at least.

Very nice set Jude. I like every one for different reasons. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation.
Gotta agree, you must have been quite close to the bear????
