Great shots as usual Woody. The clarity and composition of your pictures is consistently wonderful. I almost feel like I'm there.
I hope you don't mind if I post a bear picture in the thread. I couldn't find an existing thread on the topic and didn't want to start a new one. We looked out the kitchen window and found this guy. I estimate his weight at 300 LBS. I shot these through the window glass, sacrificing quality for safety.

Bears are why I'm always VERY careful when walking down the driveway to get the newspaper each morning!
These were taken in western NC. He munched on tree nuts for about 1/2 hour and moved on. We haven't kept a bird feeder for decades because the bears remember where they are and become frequent visitors.
