The Backyard Visitor

Posted on August 30, 2013 | 18 Comments

We meet every fall, but I am always surprised when we meet. This time of year, I know to look around before I decide to catch some Vitamin D and do some yard work.

I know it. But I don’t always do it.

On this day, I had finished taking photos of a sewing project, and thought that I might as well do a little yard work while I was outside anyway.

That’s when I noticed her.

I keep a cautious eye, but I’m not worried. We’ve met before. But this time, I have my camera handy.

What is she interested in?

The pears aren’t ripe yet, but she likes them just the way they are.

  I don’t find it scary at all Kat. Perhaps I am used to it. I don’t pose a threat to the food source, or to the animal, so there has never been a problem. In fact, I welcome the bear every season…she’s the reason that I know it is time to pick the pears, since those must be picked before they ripen. 🙂

  Not only pear trees, but apple, apricot, peach and cherry trees as well. The nature around me is well fed. 🙂

  What I really wanted to do was to rub his/her belly. But I kept within a short running distance to my front door instead. LOL!

  I do enjoy watching him/her. He watches us just as much; more probably.
