In the late afternoon after visiting the warehouse and one of our long time customers on the US/Canada border, I headed east back into the mountains. The weather was perfect and I was virtually the only car on the road. I had the rare treat of watching this black bear enjoy some evening grazing. He watched me but seemed otherwise unfazed and continued about his bear necessities until someone peeled in from the other direction and insisted on stopping right in his face, in his space. This beautiful serene creature became agitated and nervous. Who wouldn't lose their appetite if a one ton pick up screamed to a halt a few feet from their face.....?
