I was in my spare room taking pix of things to list on ebay when a shadow went by the window. I turned around and saw a mamma bear with 3 cubs walking through my backyard! I started snapping pix before realizing the glare of the window was relecting back and messing them up, but here's the best one I have. On the left is a bear cub standing up against a tree, mamma bear is in the middle and the other two are little black blobs on the right side. They had such beautiful shiney black coats! Didn't take them long to scadadle into the swamp but it was a once in a lifetime experience I wanted to share. Enjoy - I am still so excited I got to see it!

Ugh,*sheepishly* I did go out after they disappeared in the swamp. The smart one - my 5 yo - said he'd stay in the house cuz he didn't want to get eaten! She was long gone....

A bear family in your own yard. I'd be excited too. Do you see many bear around your yard? I'm glad your son has a healthy fear of them. Thanks for the post.
