Words From The Wilds

Well, now for something a little different. My wife and a friend took the Smart Car out to a nearby forestry area today where there is much wildlife to see and photograph. Their original intent was to do a fair bit of walking but while they were strolling, they were surprised by a small black bear cub about 50 yards away. As they didn't see the mother around, they quickly turned and headed back to the car. When they returned home just a few minutes ago, I questioned why they didn't capture the bear with the camera. That would have made a pretty good photo. I am glad, though, that they opted for a safe retreat rather than spend more time in the area. Other than that, they did take some pretty nice photos of flowers they saw on the walk. It is a beautiful Ontario day with a blue, blue sky and nary a blackfly nor mosquito in sight (a true rarity for lately), with fresh, clear air and lots of sunshine.
