Bears
The dog days of summer have wound down. Evenings are starting to cool a bit. It's conceivable we may have our first snow within a month. Our mountains can get snow at any time now. Montana has already had it! Early fall is in the air, and my favorite months of September and October are on the horizon. I like the colors, mountain biking, bugling elk and climbing high peaks in cooler weather with less lightning.
As we speak, Front Range bears are in full-on feasting mode to put on fat for the winter; at times they seem not too concerned about being observed. They have been slamming acorns, et cetera, for about two weeks now. Some mountain bike forays are in my favor. The following was one of those days when I enjoyed watching a black bear sow and her cubs. I had actually been watching them for several days and finally took a camera that could zoom in a bit more than my point and shoot. Enjoy momma and her cubs.

Stay tuned. Things will pick up again with the fall season.
Adios
Awwwwww! I'm so bummed we won't get to see them again until probably next year! This has been such a magnificent wildlife season for us!
