So Sorry that I couldn't get closer for Better Photos!
this bear found food at a neighbors
and did not want to leave
taking walks.....
is full of awareness!
this grizzly was in the shade of the trees
i lightened the photos so you could see it's features better
our world is a lush dark green now

ReplyDeleteGrizzle me Spirit to saturate this Earthen Soul.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Beauty truly shows there is no real beast when In Love with Nature.
What do you mean you couldn't get closer... (winks and grins). S/He is magnificent, scary and wonderful all at the same time. I do like bears.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I think it's close enough, Tammie! great shots, but please be careful.
ReplyDeleteI know that you are comfortable, but the Grizzlies are and remain wild animals...
What a guest! He's beautiful, I must admit, but it's easy to say so, comfortably sitting on a chair.:)Maybe it was risky to move near that grizzly, but you are obviously a brave woman! Thank you, Tammie for taking us so deep in the life of the forest, but do take care, please!!:0
ReplyDeleteWow Tammie your photos are just wonderful...I cannot have the honour to see a grizzly in my saloon every day...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks to share this pure moment of beauty...
You're a superb reporter...
but take care of you...:)
Incredible!
ReplyDeletePs:A great Bravo for Remei video...superb work...:)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you did not try to get closer. That is one it grizzly in the prime of life. Thank you for being brave and taking these lovely pictures. There's nothing like seeing them in the wild.
ReplyDeleteAt my in-laws in Vt. we had black bears wandering through the garden.
WoW!
ReplyDeleteSure hope that was a looong lens

What was not afraid?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are fantastic!
I love this life!
Tammie, a kiss!
The bear seemed fully aware of you. Trusted you, no doubt. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteBears!
ReplyDeleteLucky you.
Thanks for the pics.
I wouldn't get closer to a grizzly either - nice photos!
ReplyDelete...the critters get kinda big! ~ up your neck of the woods!... ...thankyoU! ~ for sharing! ~ dear brave heart!... ...sending biggest special sparkle hugs!... ...xXx... ...Samantha...
ReplyDeleteAwesome sighting and glad it wasn't any closer. Not good that it's getting into people food. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bear! I hope he didn't get himself into big troublt though!
ReplyDeleteJust look at how she blends with the nature around her! Please be careful out walking Tammie Lee! I'd miss seeing you here.
ReplyDeleteTammie, This Grizzly has wonderful markings. I like the "mohawk!" Be careful if it has found food at the neighbors - it's sure to return.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you were not as close as it looks! He had his eye on you, you know!
ReplyDeleteOH My God!!!! Tammie, this is not like my black bears that will run away when I clap! That one looks like a grizzly??? No must be a brown bear . . . still . . . they attack people too. You wild is so much larger and more dangerous!! Do take care. Great photos!!! I hope you were not too close. Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry not to have visited in awhile . . . overwhelmed and missing you. I will catch up later on. Blessings on you. Carol
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Tammie.
ReplyDeleteI remember getting advice from a couple of park ranger of what to do if confronted by a grizzly.
One idea was to play dead. I think I'd do what my instincts would tell me...........run !

Nice encounter with the powerful grizzly. Safety first, then better photos! I enjoyed the photos anyway :-)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful beast . Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteWow - what a fabulous experience! It's gorgeous and powerful and a little scary.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Tammie. The shared forest. Perhaps she is approaching because we are encroaching. My hope is that we learn to live together without fear. Conceivably in wonder. Thank you for this glimpse into the wild. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteWow, that´s an amazing moment to meet such animals in the neighbourhood !
ReplyDeleteIt must be fantastic to see a bear so close! Lovely blog, by the way
ReplyDeleteMy, what a magnificent bear,
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! You certainly gave the illusion of being VERY close Tammie, these are great photos. Such beautiful animals. There's been a few showing up in town here again this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm back to blogging as of today. If you stop by, you'll see what I ended up using for my book covers.
Hugs,G
wow!! amazing shots!!
ReplyDeletethank goodness for the zoom lens!
Now that is one big fella!
ReplyDeleteGlad you did not try to get closer.
Nice shots.....Bears rule!
ReplyDeleteWow...
Sherry
Wow.. what a beauty! I think you got plenty close.
ReplyDeleteTL - I would have been out of there in a flash - I have seen how fast grizzlies can move - and I wouldn't want to be the next meal. B
ReplyDeleteOn one level I'm sorry you didn't get closer. On another level - I wouldn't want to lose you to a grizzly bear anxious about having to share its lunch! Lovely, lovely shots, Tammie.
ReplyDeletex
Oh, that is plenty close enough!
ReplyDeleteI love bears, but I have to admit, those grizz scare me a bit!
Please be careful tlee
