When we first moved here....we heard about people seeing a bear last year walking around the soccer fields once, or twice....but then winter came, and no one really talked about it anymore. Until now. Up until last week, people have been seeing this family of bears (a mom, and three cubs, and at least one other adult bear) every single day. Every day. These trees in the pictures are directly behind my good friends house. Which is about 75 yards away from our house, or less. A couple of weeks after Mike took these pictures, I finally saw the bear(s). One of them was literally 5 feet away from another friends back door....this was about 30 feet away from my back door. They have even ventured into the neighborhood, crossing streets and everything.
It's been a little nuts....but now that people have moved their trash cans off of their back porches, the issue seems to have gone away (or moved on)....but it was CRAZY to be outside, and know that a black bear might just show up, at any moment.
