Plum Picking

We were in the kitchen, preparing pasta sauce when we saw our next door neighbour's plum tree flapping about, the cause was this big fella. Karen, before seeing why the tree was moving said "there will be a bear in the tree" and by golly there was, and a big guy too.

Taking our lives in our hands we walked out onto the road and took a distant photo of the plum scrumper using the zoom lens. Being so close to a three hundred pound black bear was a fantastic rush and we have learned that any closer is a foolish thing, no matter how cuddly they appear.
