There is a saying.."Home is where you can scratch where it itches." So I reckon this big one is at home now...Very candid shot and well done notations. Nice to know he is at home...and so all will be home one day...there is no intervening in the future..there is another saying Rick..."When you save a mans life, you become responsible for that man"...Sometimes things work out for the best...God Speed!

I just can't believe that you can observe bears in the wild like this... What a nice and cute picture. I can understand that you had a good laugh! Look at those paws! I never had the chance to see bears in the wild. It is almost like we were living in different countries :) Well done!

Hello Rick
A lovely animal and sounds like it really knew how to give you an exhilarating treat. The satisfaction is clearly identifiable on that face. Those paws are most impressive and I understand these guys can cut you up as if its knife blades they're holding. Very nice pose and photo.
Greetings

Ha ha! Funny shot Rick :)
It must be amazing watching an animal such as a Bear.
Great lighting that reflects of its glossy black fur.
Sharp with good clarity.
Priceless expression and a funny pose.
Well done Rick.
Cheers,
Joe

Hello Rick,
Great shot of a Black Bear having a scratch.
You caught him in a fine pose, totally heedless of human presence. Superb image quality and excellent composition among the dandelions.
Thanks for sharing another delight from your archives.

Hi Rick,

A priceless picture of this wonderful Black Bear. I love the expression on his face. Excellent natural colors and fantastic details from head to toe. The paws are marvelous - the coat is superb. I can just picture him rolling in the green grass.

The bears sure do go for the dandelions in spring. I've heard that they are quite nutritious. It is an amusing capture. Well done. Shooting wildlife can cause such an adrenalin rush.

I've not been very active on TN lately as I am trying to configure a new computer system and it is giving me fits. Hope I can get back to a routine in a few days!

Hi Rick

This is a pose 'to die for' and the sort where one tends to fumbble with the camera - but you got it! Wonderful shot and great detail.
