i would be scared of being so close to a black bear...at this time of year,hungry mothers are very nervous with their cubs

hello Chuck... I was a little on the scared side after the fact.. looking at the pics caused me to realize how close I was... the good thing is this is in a wildlife preserve, so the Bears are pretty familiar with humans. It actually came within 10 feet of me and barely acknowledged my presence with a short look and moved on walking right beside a car that was running. Still a scary sight out in the open.. It was GREAT....
