Two bears in the Giant Forest, Sequoia National Forest [Sun 7/19/09]

"Little Buddy" is a 2-yr old black bear I filmed during a "Land of the Giants" nature walk in Giant Forest, Sequoia National Forest. Dawn Ryan, our ranger, was worried about Buddy because a recent report had a tourist feeding Buddy a sandwich, chips, & a drink. She was worried that he would get used to "human" food...and possibly have to be shot.

We saw "Little Buddy" twice during our walk, but the second time he was behind a lot of trees, with no good shots.

The two shots below are of an older bear on the Alta Trail, headed north from the Giant Forest Museum to the General Sherman tree. We surprised each other, and I saw this bear bounding away from me. Wouldn't you know, my camera batteries chose just that moment to die... I had to put in new batteries. Lucky to get any shots at all. :-)

Kimba2007 @Flickr shot a nice photo (on black) at Flickr (on white). The kids in the photo give some perspective of the size of these majestic trees.

Friends of Unconditional Dance [Harbin Hot Springs: Wed 8/6/08 - Sun 8/10/08]

Just discovered this last night while checking the websites of Orr Hot Springs & Harbin Hot Springs, so I decided to drive to Harbin Hot Springs in the morning. I probably won't sign up for the Friends of Unconditional Dance festival, but it'll be nice to be there at the same time. Might stop in Napa along the way...
