blackbear

My wife: “Bear sightings have started. We should bring in the bird feeder.”

Me: “I think we have another day or two.”

Bear: *crash, crack, crunch*

A trailcam!

Now’s my chance to be fearsome and ferocious!

I was just photographing this beautiful butterfly caterpillar on the little-traveled road when someone tapped me on the shoulder and quietly said, "Look over there!"
Had we not stopped for the caterpillar, we would have been very close...
Btw, this is the caterpillar (second photo for sure) of the Mourning Cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa).
