I was reminded this morning of a trip to Alberta. I was going over the Continental divide -- which also separated Alberta from British Columbia, when I looked in my driver's side rear view mirror and saw a large Black Bear on the side of the mountain. What I realized from this was that I could NOT see the bear when I passed it because of the angle, but could see him once past because the angle was quite different. So, now as I drive in the mountains, especially around moderate or hairpin turns I glance at the rear view mirror just in case. Saw a Bobcat that way several years later. Anyway, in today's photos, first the Black Bear after I stopped the car and walked back toward him, and second, moments later when he decided he wanted more privacy and darted down the mountainside.
