Surprise-Surprise!

  My husband and I went 'bear hunting' on our day off  last Sunday.  We would find a road that lead to either the lake or rivers side and sit for a while to see if  any grizzlies  would pass by. We pulled into
a spot beside the Slims River. DH had to go to take
care of 'business' so I was sitting in the car with the
window down right next to a wooded area. Something caught my eye in the woods by the drivers side. It was a motion. It was a grizzly, not
ten feet away from the car, heading through the woods in the same direction my husband had walked. DH was about a block and a half down the
two track by now. I quickly honked the horn, jumped over into the drivers seat and started the car so I could put the windows up, then started down this narrow road to rescue my hubby!
I'm sure by now the bear was scared half witless and was well on his way up the mountain side.
Here I am honk, honk, honking the horn-waving my arms, screaming "get in the car , get in the car now"
and what is the first thing my hubby says to me once I get him in the car and explain why I'm
 acting like a lunatic, "Did you get its picture?"
Can you believe that?  Now, when would I have had
time to get it's picture I ask you?
 For once I was truly speechless. Yes, completely caught off guard.
All I can say is that I'm sure glad that it was him on that
two track and not me because if he'd been in my shoes I got a feeling I might not be here to tell this
story! I can just see him fumbling with the camera,
thinking what a great photos he going to be getting
while the bear has made his way down to me, finished me off, and is looking at him with his
camera probably thinking,"yeh, and here comes
 my dessert now".
Well, it was a 'no bear picture' day, for sure
 but I think the memories made that day will
make up for it for many, many years to come!
Don't you?

Tomorrow I will show you what we did find to
'shoot'. Photo shoot, that is. And it's not scenery-
I promise!
