Your words and images are always a ...Dear Tammie, <br /><br />Your words and images are always a great help to my spirit. I have missed visiting you but have been overwhelmed and not online as much for my 'spirit' and body really. <br /><br />So, coming here is one of the first places I go when visiting blogs. I am never disappointed. Respect and awareness as you say is key to our living well with nature's creatures. I feel for the mother deer too but as you point out 'we all eat.' Bears are 'seriously strong' I love that! So true!! After thirty years of safe habitat here, my nest box birds all lost their broods to bears. My world is not so vast, majestic, or wild as yours. I love seeing Montana through your eyes and spirit. Thank you so much for always being here. I so admire you Tammie.

The only thing that does not die for us to eat it is fruit and nuts, which i suppose could be considered fruit too.

As for the story, it is the way of nature, and of life.

Yes, sad, but does feed another family. <br /><br />hello S.Etole, <br /><br />yes, bears are berry eaters, but there will not be many berries for a couple of months. They eat a huge amount of grass at this time and anything else they come across. They also tip over logs and tear at stumps for the insects or moths they can find, high in protein. <br /><br />thank you all for your comments and visits and for enjoying the photographs!<br />Tammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018402134070834516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3108568901007229871.post-4033035246027247802014-06-15T11:11:16.550-06:002014-06-15T11:11:16.550-06:00A beautiful variety of photos.
