Wild Things

I understandably had a hard time going to sleep last night and was on my deck at 1:30am. Guess what I saw down in front? It had four legs, a nice thick fur coat, and probably weighed 400lbs. Yep, I saw my first bear, and it wasn't small. It left the area via the stairs to the house across the street and disappeared into the trees. Nice view, huh!

It looked something like this...but smaller, and I suspect it was a female.
