It's not common to see bears up trees... they're primarily ground dwellers... When I first saw the bear, he (she?) was hiding in the bushes and very hard to see. Shortly after I had stopped, another car arrived... and soon after that, he got curious and went up the tree for a better look. After getting the shot you've seen, I ran to the car for my monopod. By the time I'd returned, he'd moved further up, for an even better view of us! http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/bear-3.htm As always, comments, criticism appreciated. Thanks for looking. -- David Young, Logan Lake, BC CANADA.
